SS 006

This is the cross of Michael, Archangel of God. Anna Prioress of Iona
Notes:SS 006    The greater part of a cross shaft which is broken and lying on top of a grave with a 20th century headstone.
At the top of the stone is St Michael slaying the dragon which is at his feet?
In the middle of the stone an inscription in Latin reads “This is the cross of Michael, Archangel of God. Anna Prioress of Iona”
Which Historic Scotland interpret as Anna Prioress of Iona erecting his stone .
And at the bottom death is represented as a cadaver with a spade in his hand beside a hooded and cloaked figure thought to represent the Prioress Anna MacLean. She is holding a holy book and is drawing aside the cadavers flesh to expose his entrails.

The back of the cross shaft is decorated with thick stemmed plant scroll according to the RCAHMS.
Scheduled stone  1997 along with the older half of this part of the graveyard
