Cross



Stone slab carved with an encircled cross, found in Saint Ninian’s Cave.

The cross has expanded arms marked by four smaller circles. This design appears repeatedly on St Ninian’s Cave sculpture.

The stones from St Ninian’s Cave had all been moved from their original positions before discovery. The cave was probably an early medieval chapel.
