A Class I Pictish symbol stone which is a rare example of one being in its original position. When excavated in 1856 by Charles Dalrymple he found that the stone was set in a low cairn about 2m in diameter. Beneath the southern edge of the cairn, at a depth of circa 1.5m was a rectangular grave just over 2m long. The stone itself is a block of whinstone with veins of quartz, standing 1.98m high, incised into which are a double-disk and Z-rod, above a serpent and Z-rod, which in turn is above a mirror. Magnetometry survey around the stone by University of Aberdeen in 2012 (as part of the Rise and Fall of the Picts project) recorded a number of rectilinear or sub-rectilinear anomalies.
