What is recorded here
A small cross-slab (H 0.6m; Wth 0.56m) projecting 0.49m above the level of a flat oval slab surrounded by a wall of upright stones, probably forming a penitential station (WI027-031002-). It has a simple Latin cross in relief; both the slab itself and the cross project below the level of the flat slab.
