Full Description
It is 1.2 m tall and has been erected on a new base near the gateway of the churchyard. The stone is sculptured on both faces. One side shows a crescent and V-rod over a beast, while the other side has a fish above a cauldron. The stone may suggest two phases of composition, with one side better incised than other. The stone is situated at the entrance to Kintore Parish Church (MAB18203).
