Cross-marked Slab and Cup-marked Rock, Cladh Manach, Boreray.
In an ancient burying ground on the summit of a small hill at A'Yeoie, near the south-east corner of the island of Boreray, is a small, rough slab almost entirely buried, on which a simple Latin cross, measuring 7 ½ inches in length and 3 ½ inches across the arms, is incised.
About 50 yards to the west, on a small rocky outcrop, is an oval hollow measuring about 17 inches in length and 11 inches in width at the lip, and about 6 inches in depth at the deepest part, which is in the western half.
A few yards to the north-west of this hollow is another small outcrop of rock just appearing above ground, on which four cup-marks a recut; the largest is about 5 ½ inches in diameter and 3 ¼ inches deep and the smallest 3 inches in diameter and 5/8 inch deep.
