What is recorded here

Within the graveyard (GA021-026026-) on High Island. Recorded by Fisher (2014, 206, no. 10, Fig. 7.2), this incomplete mica-schist cross-slab (H 0.54m; Wth 0.76m; T 0.09m) has been reused as a sidestone between Graves 5 and 6. The decoration, which came to light on the N-facing side during excavations, is totally concealed. It comprises a linear Latin cross centred on a linear circle. The arms of the cross project beyond the circle and end in curving forked terminals. A double-forked terminal superimposed on the upper terminal appears to be a secondary feature.
