What is recorded here

In the SE end of the graveyard (GA021-026026-) on High Island. Recorded by Fisher (2014, 201-3, no. 3, Fig. 7.1), this is one three decorated garnet mica-schist cross-slabs (see also GA021-026033- and GA021-026035-) associated with a pseudo grave, Grave 2. Irregular and roughly tapered in shape (L 1.19m; Wth 0.59m; T 0.04m), it was found lying recumbent on the grave and broken in three places. A central double band in low relief encloses two central roundels, each of which is linked to three large D-shaped terminals. Decorative motifs are evident in the three upper terminals but the three lower ones do not appear to be ornamented. The uppermost terminal is angled to match the oblique edge of the slab.
