The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1837 and 1929 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the W side of the main street, between the castle (RO027-048002-) and the church (RO027-048005-). It does not survive, but is described as small and was probably a late medieval market cross. (Crawford 1907A, 217)
