What is recorded here

This cross-slab was recorded by White Marshall and Rourke (2000, 144-5, no. 7) who found it on the plinth on the S side of ‘Cell B’, the clochan (GA021-026013-) to the E of the church (GA021-026014-) on High Island. It was a roughly cruciform cross-slab (H 1.08m; Wth 0.43m; T 0.12m) of garnet mica-schist. One face was decorated with an outline Latin cross, carved in relief, with slightly expanded terminals. Another Latin cross with forked terminals was superimposed on this. The right arm was damaged. This cross-slab is now missing (Fisher 2014, 218, no. 41, Fig. 7.7).
