A survey by Tim Blackie and Colin Macaulay
Reference Number: SSC/15

Name: Mid Clyth 1

Description: Cross-incised Slab

Present Location: Roadside Farm,
  Mid Clyth,
  ND 2943 3730

Original Location: as above
Other Documentation: BEAT p25
  IMCC No 296

PSAS lvi p66

Dimensions: Length 3 feet 5 inches

Notes: This stone was found a great many years ago built into a stone dyke, and having served for long after as a cover on a well is now built into an outside wall at the farm. Due to water pouring over the cross in its present position, it is clear that the sculpture will soon become unrecognisable. The cross is incised, about 1 foot 5 inches in length with arms some 6 inches long which end in round discs.
