What is recorded here

Halfway along the west wall of the Toraigh graveyard, a thin cross-slab stands cemented into stone. It measures 1.35m by .045m, has lost part of its top, and was split before being rejoined along the middle. The slab does not decorate the wall like a trophy; it completes the altar, giving the stones beside it a centre around which memory can gather.

About midway along the W wall of the graveyard (DG006-002001-) is a stone-built altar on which are arranged a number of stone items. The most important of these is a cross-slab the back of which is cemented to the graveyard wall. It is 1.35m x .045m. The top is damaged and the slab was split and rejoined along the middle.
