Cross-inscribed stone in An Fhaiche

Cross-inscribed stone

What is recorded here

An Fhaiche holds a cross of arcs inside a circle, dangling a wedge-shaped stem on the steep north-west face of a rock outcrop. It stands seventy-five metres south of the calluragh burial ground, where stone and memory still lean toward each other. The carving is small enough to overlook and sharp enough to stop a person mid-breath.
This cross is carved on the almost vertical NW face of a rock outcrop about 75m S of the calluragh burial ground (KE034-014001-). It is a cross of arcs within a circle with a roughly triangular or wedge-shaped stem pendant from it.
