Interpretation

- The inscription is enclosed in a finely scratched cartouche an extension of which separates the end of the text from the three first names. There is an apotropaic sign of seven lines within the cartouche and a drawing showing a circle surrounded by rays outside it. The stone partly covered a grave cut in the soil on the southern face of the cairn in which the body of a woman was found. See HCH p. 11.
