Pictish symbol stone. An upright, symbol-bearing, Class II cross-slab of old red sandstone, rectangular in shape but slightly pointed at the top, measuring 2 metres x 1 metres x 0.23 metres (6.6 feet x 3.3 feet x 0.75 feet). It is sculptured in relief on both faces, the front bearing the cross, two angels, a man with spear and shield, a stag, a hound and an unidentifiable beast. The back bears a 'Pictish Beast', double-disc and Z-rod symbols, four human figures, three of them in procession, and a pot with a flower or tree growing in it. Parts of the bodies of three cows and an arched object, probably the horseshoe symbol, have been broken away. The stone was found in the bed of a stream near the church (NO34NE0003). A small permanent building, with viewing windows, was built by the DoE in 1969 to house the stone in the southeast angle of the ruin of the church.
