Mac Leans Cross on Iona. It is made from a single thin slab of stone and stands to over three metres in height. Located between the abbey and convent at the crossing of Sráid na Marbh and Port Rónain it is thought to have formed part of the pilgrim trail. This face depicts very fine interlace while the other shows the fully clad crucified Christ with interlace on the shaft. It is set in its original socket. This cross is given a date of around 1400.
