Pictish Symbol Stone and carved stone. No. 1 - Class II stone. A rectangular whinstone slab 4'6 1/2 inches x 7 inches x 1'11 inches , sculptured on one face with a pair of coiled serpents. It was discovered near the Ogilvy Ailse before 1885 and is now preserved as a coping on the north wall of the manse garden. Near it is No. 2, a fragment of another stone bearing two animals. Though noted as a symbol stone, stone 1 bears only two coiled serpents on one face, but no Pictish symbols. It was still in the manse garden in 1988. Stone 2 (considered to be lost in 1978) was located in 1988, built into a lower terrace wall in the garden, adjacent to Kinnell Parish Church (NO65SW0035). Although flaking badly, the rear parts of the bodies of the two animals could still be made out.
