Summary

Description
English: Crosshill Cross. The cross dates from the twelfth century, and is thought to be a memorial stone erected to mark the grave of an important person. The cross is just under 3m high, and is inserted into a large block of stone that is itself over 1m in height. The shaft tapers towards the top, terminating in a disc on which a cross is carved on either side. Each side of the shaft bears carved decoration. A naked man and greyhound on the east side, and a coat of arms on the west, south and possibly the north side. On the west and north sides, there are also depictions of a carved cross. A sword is depicted on the south side. The symbols carved on this cross suggest that the person whom it commemorates may have been to the Crusades.
