Interpretation
- Commentary
- The text is carved across the middle of the face between lines 1 and 2 of WH 1700. It has been damaged by hammering and scratching in many places, some of which has occurred between when WH's black-and-white photograph (1958–1959) and the Badia Epigraphic Survey's (2018) were taken.
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 21 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
