This is the market cross at Fortrose. Its head has been lost and the remains are now inserted in a circular stone slab in the pavement. An iron ring is attached near the base. This was possibly formerly used as a means of punishment.

A market cross, octagonal in section, surviving to a height of 2.6m is as described by Small, except that the iron ring has been removed.
