Visit Notes

Sunday, 17th August 2008

This plain, worn cross stands at the entrance to the site on one edge of the car park. It is very eroded and one of the arms is almost missing. It stands about 2m tall on a small cairn-like structure and is one of the stations on the pattern here.

The upper cross (that is not accessible, but is visible from the top of the graveyard) is even more worn.
