The National Monuments Service's description

Stone Store, Visitor Centre. 29 August 2005. Described by Leask (1950, 47) as a 'slab cross (broken below the head) with short, tapering, head and arms, 11 inches [0.28m] thick. On the front is a circular band in relief carved with a plain zigzag pattern. Above this a gable form ornament and, round the edge a small rebate which descends along the shaft on each side of a plain lattice of six compartments. On the back is a Greek cross of four bands mitred together at the centre and finishing in crescent-shaped ends. The edge rebate continues a short way down the shaft’.
