Originally located on High Island (see GA021-026038-). Recorded by Fisher (2014, 203-4, no. 7, Fig. 7.2), this decorated cross-slab is one of three (see also GA021-026036- and GA021-026037-) associated with Grave 3. A limestone slab (H 0.89m; Wth 0.32m; T 0.09m), it is one of only two found on the island, the other being the cover stone (GA021-026037-) of the grave. It formed the footstone and was just decorated on its W face. Most of the stone was concealed and it was broken in two pieces. The cross-head is carved in low relief and the lower armpits are notched. A border runs around the head and centrally located is a double roundel which encloses a cross. The shaft bears a framed incised figure that is probably a secondary feature. The figure stands in an orans position and each hand holds a rectangular object, possibly a book. The E face of the slab was very roughly dressed and no decoration is evident. This cross-slab has been repaired and a replica has been placed on site.
