More model informationThis is a headstone decorated on the front with a plain cross with a small central boss and expanded arms, with a similar cross carved on the back.
The stone bears traces on one edge of a runic inscription. Anglo-Saxon was the language spoken by the ruling Northumbrians and was the language of prestige.
It tells us that ‘[….] set up’ this stone, pointing to a living patron who commissioned it. The runes were integral to the design and originally ran further round the edge of the stone. They may have been deliberately cut away.
This stone dates to around 800 to 1100 AD and can be found in the Whithorn Priory Museum. For information on visiting, go to our website.
