Cross-slab in Burtown Big

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

Clear water, quiet pressure, familiar mercy. That is the visible shape of the cross. The chamber is the deeper room where the children’s eyes and hands must be taught to see and hold that shape.
In a graveyard (KD035-030001-). An earthfast limestone slab re-used as a later gravemarker (H 0.4m; Wth 0.5m T 6-10cms) has a slightly raised circular ‘boss’ (diam. 0.24m) on its E face on which is inscribed a fine equal-armed cross with expanded triangular terminals.
