Monument record MHG14066 - Symbol Stone, Londubh

GR corrected to above by HAW. The stone lies a little to the NW of the old chapel site. It is v hard to recognise the design elements. It is now surrounded by a low fence to prevent damage during grass cutting. It lies flat as discovered as supposed to overlie a grave. It appears that the reverse may be very rough cut. A number of the earlier graves in the graveyard seem to be covered with large & heavy stones in this manner. Only one appears to obviously have the same striations as the symbol stone, although at a different angle of cutting - HAW 8/2003
