Cross-Carved Fragment from Wigtownshire
A cross with expanded arms occupies an irregular stone fragment, surrounded by small linear and dotted marks. The source caption associates it with St Ninian’s in Wigtownshire and interprets it as a solar emblem. Its carved geometry and stated location are distinct from Waddell’s proposed interpretation.
