What is recorded here

Anchored between two sacred enclosures on High Island, the small granite boulder still carries the weight of a curse. It sits south of the church like a forgotten judge, waiting for an unhappy heart to speak its anger into stone. The cross-slab nearby watches the water, reminding anyone who approaches that even tiny rocks can hold endless human pain.

This rounded granite boulder (0.4m N-S; 0.34m E-W; H 0.34m), a possible cursing stone, is to the S of the church (GA021-026014-) on High lsland and is located between the church enclosure (GA021-026021-) and the ecclesiastical enclosure (GA021-026022-). A cross-slab (GA021-026025-) lies c. 4m to the NW. Similar boulders were noted on Cruach na Cara/St MacDara’s Island (see GA021-020026-) and Mason Island (see GA076-011005-).
