What is recorded here

In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about cross-inscribed stone No. 77 in Garfinny graveyard (KE043-228----): 'Fourteen previously unrecorded cross-slabs or simple cross inscribed headstones were plotted and recorded in Garfinny. These crosses comprise eight small unhewn stones inscribed with crosses (59, 61, 63, 77, 95, 203, 530 and 708); five 18th / 19th century cross inscribed slabs (98, 130, 347, 449 & 712) and one late stone cross (181). Cross-slab (77), of local green sandstone, 0.34m x 0.50m x 0.14m. Vivid Latin cross with T-bar terminals to both arms. Upper shaft expands and incorporated into ‘V’ notch at top of stone' (Dunne 2010, 16). See attached photograph courtesy of Laurence Dunne Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 29 June 2022
