Monument record 1209 - CLACH NA CROISE, SOLLAS, NORTH UIST

NF87SW 8 8050 7495.

(Area : NF 803 740) At one time an incised cross could be traced on the NW face of a rock outcrop known as Clach na Croise, immediately west of the byre of a crofter's house, called Tigh na Croise or Crosshill, in the township of Middlequarter, Sollas.
On top of the rock, near the northern side, is a group of four cupmarkings and incised on the NE face are three rings, two circular and one kidney-shaped, which may be natural.
Behind the rock, to the south and on a lower outcrop, are two, possibly five, other cupmarks. (RCAHMS 1928)
Pike's plans (J D Lyford-Pike 1941) show nine cups (three of which may be natrual) on Clach na Croise and eight cups (of which six may be natrual) on the lower outcrop.
