A rough stone has a heading carved in it, but the surface is too weathered & moss covered to be able to read it.

Stone overexposed, and photo taken too far away

Only the very top is still visible, with an intricate pattern too weathered to make out.

Another weathered stone. The only legible word is 'woman'. Read by Shahar Stein
