Three Crosses in the South-west of Scotland

Abstract

An account of three fragmented cross slabs all thought to be of 10th-century date from Carleton, Glasserton and Fardenreoch. The Carleton slab has a cross decoration similar in form to an example from St Ninian's Cave. The cross-head at Glasserton is of the Whithorn type while the Fardenreoch example has a rope, plait and twist ornament uncommon in Scotland.
