What is recorded here

This fragment of a limestone cross-slab (H 1.13m; max. Wth 0.55m) is in the W half of a children’s burial ground (GA111-002005-), propped against a 19th-century grave. Both ends of the slab are broken. A short semicircular boss is evident on each side. The side facing E bears a simple two-line Latin cross with rounded hollows between the angles of each arm. The terminals on the arms are rounded off.
