Full Description
Boundary stone recorded by J Sherriff in 1981. A post-medieval boundary stone adjacent to the car park at Prior House, Restenneth, appears to be a re-used cup-marked stone. The block of sandstone has been squared off, but three cup-marks, each about 55mm in diameter by 17mm deep, are still visible on the west face of the stone. A letter 'R' has been inscribed on the same face. Recorded by Scotland's Rock Art Project which concluded that the 'cup marks' appear to have been cut after the stone was squared by a mason as a boundary marker.
