Most cross-inscribed stones have one, maybe two, crosses carved on it. This one has zillions of them!

The stone is an upright slab aligned north-south. The east face is 'smooth', while the rear face is rough, as if the slab was once flat and has been stood up. The 'smooth' face is the one that bears the carvings.

The weather was absolutely terrible and the light was not good for making the designs stand out. Even standing right in front of them it was very hard to make out properly, so the photos aren't at all good.
