Description
This is face 'b' of the Kilmartin Cross, which the information board says was created about AD. Broken and lying in the churchyard in 1860, it was re-erected in the churchyard and brought inside the church in May 1977. Historic Environment Scotland describes this as "the oldest of the three crosses …. It has short cross-arms and is intricately carved with a diagonal key pattern. At its centre is an unusual curled diagonal cross, with almond-shaped frames above and below."
