There were three headstones of this shape in the same cemetary.  Does anyon know if that starshape has a significance or is it just a quirk of the local stonemason ?

Is it a form of the Star of David by any chance?

Looks like a crusader's cross in the center, but two squares have been superimposed, one rotated 45 degrees to make what would be an 8 pointed star.

Never saw anything like that before.

I have no idea, The Star of David is six pointed. Could it be a Celtic design or Druid?

A Celtic cross is a cross with a circle at the center.   Druids, so far as I know, never used crosses (not Christian, of course; Druids had been exterminated before Christ)

Hopefully, we'll find out.  It's very interesting.

I know about the six points on the Star of David and was trying to figure out if that could be in that design but I don't think so.

Crusader cross was an interesting thought, and it does favour that rather than the celtic cross which doesnt taper toward the centre.  May also have a point about the superimposed squares.   Sadly none of the inscriptions were legible.  The quest continues.

I have asked Heather to research this.  She is so good at research.
