A number of the graves are covered with a large flat stone, or flag, on which is carved the name of the one who lies buried there, the date of his death and his age. Some of the graves have a stone raised up at each of the four corners and on these rests the large flat stone. Some have a cross or 'head-piece' made of wood or stone which are usually placed at the head of the grave.
