Saturday, 27th October 2007

This slender cross is in complete contrast to the one on the opposite side of the road. It is about 3m tall and has no decoration. To the east of the cross you can trace the edge of a round platform, the inside of which is dotted with old grave markers. At the edge of the platform, near to the road, there is a 1m high slab that has some faint decoration.
