Notes: 

 

Description: Head of stone – in sunken cartouche – in high relief – I H S with the H surmounted by an eastern style Cross and enclosed in a foliated design.  The incised inscription is in a mix of styles and is not of the high standard of the Head carving. Note the error in “Da” and the erratic spacing of the words.  Also note the “Eastern” style Cross – this is the only one of its type recorded in the Graveyard.
