OS 6" map (1923)
A stone cross stood here about 12 years ago. The base stone is still to be seen, and is about 4ft long by 2 broad. The origin of the cross is doubtful as to its identity with the Roman Catholic creed or as a Signal-post or Telegraph Station connected with Stirling and Greenock. Name Book 1896
This is a flat-topped natural rock of irregular shape, measuring approximately 1.1 x 1.4m and 0.3m high. There is a small bore hole 1 inch in diameter and 2 inches deep in the centre of the stone. This alleged cross base is situated on top of a knoll high up on the moor, and with an extensive view all around.
