What is recorded here

Formerly located in the N half of the graveyard (GA021-026026-) on High Island (see GA021-026044-). Recorded by Fisher (2014, 206, no. 13, Fig. 7.3), this tapering garnet mica-schist cross-slab (H 0.59m; Wth 0.32m; T 0.07m), which was probably reused, was found in situ forming the footstone of pseudo Grave 7. Only its E face was decorated. It bears an incised cross within a double ring. At the junctions with the outer ring the cross-arms fork as oblique terminals. A replica of the cross-slab has been placed on High Island. (See also GA084-151016- for a similar cross-slab.)
