The National Monuments Service's description
In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about cross-inscribed stone No. 63 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 (63), small straight sided sandstone, 0.36m x 0.26m x 0.10m, with a roughly carved Latin cross' (Dunne 2010, 16).
