What is recorded here

Red sandstone holds a deep cross at Cinn Aird Thoir, marking grave 400 with an edge sharp enough to cut through forgetfulness. The stone may have been hewn locally, carried through rain and set beside someone whose name never reached the survey. It still performs its work: identifying death, resisting erosion, and forcing attention in a crowded graveyard.

In 2011 a graveyard survey carried out by Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd. recorded the following details about a cross-inscribed stone (Miscellaneous No. 11): ‘Roughly hewn piece of old red sandstone with deeply inscribed cross, also forming gravemarker to Grave No. 400’ (Hanbidge 2011, 12).
