Photogrammetry here

This subrectangular grave-slab, 9 m WSW of SE corner of Old Kirk, measures 1.66 m long (W–E) and up to 0.66 m wide towards the W end, narrowing slightly towards the E end. Its surface is rough, and bears no apparent carved symbols. However, on its S side there is a 0.6 m W–E line towards the W end which appears to form part of a 0.05 m wide border (similar to the borders of claymore slabs BGCP_01 and BGCP_07). There is also a shorter, near parallel line 0.08–0.10 m to the N of the border.

These two line splay outwards at the W possibly suggesting a cross tightly positioned in the SW corner. On the N side of the slab there is a much fainter linear marking, 0.12 m from the edge, running most of the length of the slab.
