What is recorded here

Laurence Dunne recorded stone 708 in Garfinny during his 2010 survey, revealing one of fourteen previously unlisted crosses hidden among the graveyard. The triangular sandstone measures just over thirty centimetres across and bears a simple Latin cross incised into its surface. It likely marked an ordinary death before written records reached the place, preserving a name only the stone and nearby memory still hold.

In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about cross-inscribed stone No. 708 in Garfinny graveyard (KE043-228----): 'Fourteen previously unrecorded cross-slabs or simple cross inscribed headstones were plotted and recorded in Garfinny. These crosses comprise eight small unhewn stones inscribed with crosses (59, 61, 63, 77, 95, 203, 530 and 708); five 18th / 19th century cross inscribed slabs (98, 130, 347, 449 & 712) and one late stone cross (181). Cross-slab (708), triangular sandstone, 0.38m x 0.32m x 0.08m, with simple Latin cross incised' (Dunne 2010, 17).
