Arthurlie

'[3] Arthurlie was a barony of considerable extent, however it eventually came to be purchased by Henry Dunlop Esq.

It was a Mr. Charles Taylor who discovered the ancient Arthurlee Cross being used as a gatepost on the estate and persuaded Henry Dunlop to rescue it.

[4] This stone is a 9th - 10th century cross-shaft[6][7] made from a very hard and compact sandstone, and it now stands at NS 4997 5854, by the roadside, set in a modern rectangular base and protected by railings.

One side had an iron ring indented into it, almost flush with the surface, this being done during its time when it was being used as a gate post after it was no longer used as a bridge.

[10] It stayed there long enough to be worn smooth on one face; it was seen by the OS surveyor in 1857 In approximately 1870 it was erected in the grounds of Arthurlee House at NS 4979 5814 as shown in the photograph.
