Reference (1903)

St Andrews No.33 is the lower portion of an upright cross-slab of sandstone, 1 foot 2 1/2 inches in height by 1 foot 10 inches in breadth, the original thickness not now ascertainable, as one of the faces of the slab has been entirely split off; sculptured in relief on the remaining face.

Above the plain part of the stone, which was apparently meant to be inserted in the ground or in a socket, the lower part of the plain shaft of a cross; on the background of the cross, at either side, a panel of fretwork and spirals.

J R Allen and J Anderson 1903
