    The top of this stone has been flattened-off and used as a sundial. The carvings on the faces appear to be simple crosses.

    There are a number of other cross inscribed stones (sometimes refered to as Pictish Class 4) built into the open vestibule of the church, visible from the inside.

    D-Angus.
