The stone is a Class I symbol stone with double disc and Z-rod (the sides of the discs are truncated at the top) and beast and mirror symbols. The stone is a large andalusite staurolite schist monolith measuring 1700mm tall x 520mm wide x 120mm deep, and of roughly rectangular size. Originally used as a lintel at the top of the window in the north wall of the church. Other Early Medieval stones found at this site include the collection detailed in NO39NE0016.
