065 "The Cross at Dyce, is now placed in the wall surrounding the Churchyard, and is said to have been found in the Glebe. It will be seen that another stone has been found in the churchyard wall of Dyce, and both probably are not far from their original site. Dyce was dedicated to St. Fergus, and there is a fine Stone circle in the parish"

The cross alluded to in the above extract is a slab of ironstone on one side of which the lines of an ornamental cross have been cut in relief. It is about 6 feet high by about 2 1/2 feet wide, and is built into the eastern wall of the graveyard which surrounds the church. Its appearance does not lead to the presumption that it ever was a "village cross".
