What is recorded here

Breaker teeth bit through the edge and took the lower arm, but they left enough to show the maker's hand. A double-lined cross of shallow arcs still curves inside a thin circular frame, its ends sharpened into small triangles. The stone is twenty-two centimetres tall, twenty-one wide and only two and a half thick, with flakes torn from one face. It may have marked a child, a servant or someone whose name never needed speaking.

Date likely to the early medieval period, possibly 8th to 10th century. The double outline cross with a circular centre is typical of Insular Christian art and may have had a liturgical or commemorative function.
