Full Description
Class I Pictish symbol stone. The symbol stone has been restored having been broken up by explosives and built into adjacent field dykes in the past. The symbols incised are of a Crescent and V-rod above a Serpent and Z-rod. To the left of the symbols as you look at them is a section of Ogham script that reads down the left hand side of the stone 'IRATADDOARENS' which has been translated to Eddarrnon, which is possibly a rendering of St Ethernanus, a local saint. The stone stood originally at NJ 7600 2240.
