Cross-inscribed pillar

What is recorded here

In 2011, Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd recorded a single gravemarker in Cinn Aird Thoir with T O carved on its south elevation. The letters are less clear, possibly the initials of the person buried beneath. That unknown life still rests inside the stone, waiting for recognition.
