Although marked Abbey & Crosses on the OS there is so little of the abbey visible that I have only listed the crosses. A nearby plaque tells that the two crosses on display here were actually brought n from other sites in the area.

Both are quite splendid. One is very early and covered mainly in knot patterns. The other is probably later and has the usual biblical scenes.

Both cross heads have crucifixions on them and are of the solid wheel type.
