The National Monuments Service's description
A penal-style granite cross, presently displayed at a road junction c. 300m to the NE (WX045-037001-) is thought to have come originally from the graveyard attached to Carrick church site (WX045-036001-). This cross (H 0.78m; Wth of arms 0.33m; T 0.18m) has an incised cross on its diamond-shaped head with an incised 'IHS' at the crux. The stem below the crux is cracked across.
