Description A handsome Class II symbol stone depicting a cross with interlacing decoration surrounded by 4 smaller, also decorated, symbols: the crescent-and-V-rod, the triple ring ("cauldron"), the disc-and-rectangle ("mirror case") and the double-disc-and-Z-rod.
(Doh!! I forgot to photograph the Ogham inscription which runs up the right-hand side!)

Very kind of you Sunny100, - this shot shows the engraving clearly because I poured a litre of water over the stone.
