Cross slab
Upright grave slab carved with a double cross head and roughly designed stopped plait interlace on the edges. This stone was carved sometime after the ‘Whithorn School’ period. Designs became simpler and more crudely carved, and it seems the exceptional skills of previous generations were lost. The stone was found at during excavations at Whithorn in 1968. On display in the Whithorn Priory Museum, Dumfries and Galloway.
