What is recorded here

Broken garnet mica-schist lies in rubble south of Cell B on High Island, bearing a shallow Latin cross worn nearly smooth by weather. The island held a church and clochan where people prayed, buried, or tended cells beside the sea. The cross still marks that forgotten labour, even though time has softened its edges into something the eye must almost imagine.

Recorded by Fisher (2014, 214-15, no. 36, Fig. 7.6), this broken cross-inscribed slab (H 0.39m; Wth 0.27m; T 0.04m) of garnet mica-schist was found in rubble to the S of ‘Cell B’, the clochan (GA021-026013-) that is to the E of the church (GA021-026014-) on High Island. It bears a linear Latin cross defined by much-weathered shallow grooves. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 November 2015

Likely dating to the early medieval period, the cross-slab may have been part of a Christian memorial or ecclesiastical structure associated with the nearby clochan. Such inscribed stones often carried religious symbolism and may have marked a burial or sacred site.
