What is recorded here

Originally located on High Island (see GA021-022----). Described by Fisher (2014, 212, no. 22, Fig. 7.5) as a short-armed cruciform cross-slab (H 0.72m; Wth 0.53m; T 0.07m) of garnet mica-schist. It is decorated on both faces and one side. The N face bears a Latin cross in high relief. The cross is framed by a band which encloses a double-banded cross. A triquetra is visible in the top terminal and there is a boss or raised area in the upper left quadrant. A worn linear cross within a double roundel and is visible on the S face. Its terminals end in crosslets. The flat surface of the surviving left arm also bears a linear cross with crosslet terminals. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 November 2015
