This lovely cross slab is mounted atop a wall alongside the busy A2 a short way outside Ballycastle.

It is 1m or so tall and 80cm wide. The road-facing face has a nice yet crude carving of a crosier and a tau cross. Getting close can be a bit tricky due to the speed that traffic comes along the road, so take care.
