Parkmill Cross Slab is a cross slab located 150 metres north-east of 2 Carnach in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The monument stands on bedrock formed from the Scottish Coal Measures Group, a geological sequence of mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone and ferricrete laid down during the Moscovian period. This ancient coalfield landscape shaped the character of the surrounding area from medieval times onwards, though the cross slab itself represents an earlier phase of Christian monument-making in Scotland.
The cross slab is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's reference SM3016. Such monuments typically date from the early medieval period and served as markers within Christian burial grounds or along routes of religious significance. The survival of this stone in its coal-measure setting reflects the enduring landscape of central Scotland, where Carboniferous geology and medieval Christian heritage exist in close association.
