Full Description
Class I Pictish symbol stone. This stone was moved to the centre of the henge at Broomend of Crichie (NJ71NE0003) in the 19th century when its original site was quarried away. It has a beast and a crescent and rod finely incised on it. The site from which it was removed shows a very convincing barrow-like cropmark at the original findspot on an aerial photograph, CUCAP BVD 083.
