Carved cross slab

This cross slab is similar to a number of tenth and eleventh century stones found in the Wigtownshire Machars.  The design is Hiberno-Norse and suggests contact with Viking in Ireland, the Western Isles and north-west England.  The Knock of Luce cross slab may have been a grave marker at a small chapel.   Incomplete cross slab (top missing).  It has been carved on one face with an equal armed cross decorated with a central boss and a triangular pattern inside the cross arms.  A narrow, concave neck seperates the head from the body which is decorated with two panels of geometric design.
