Old Wayside Cross beside the Long Causeway
Maiden Cross, a Wayside Cross in the form of a rectangular stone inscribed with a cross pattée above the words MAIDEN / CROSS. Set in front of a walled-up gateway on the southwest side of the Long Causeway opposite a car park. Cliviger parish. In 2007 it was photographed set in a gateway at the joining of walls. The gateway was walled up in September 2020, obscuring the face of the stone. but at the request of the parish council it was removed and placed on view in front of the wall in October 2020. The top of the stone has unfortunately been cut down and the inscribed cross has been cut through. See also LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) , Link and Link.
