Full Description
Class I symbol stone. It is a broken slab of pink granite, which was discovered during ploughing in 1978. The slab was originally a squared off rectangular block which has been broken and the symbols truncated. The stone is incised with a beast, comb and part of a curvilinear symbol. The carved lines are of an uneven depth and not as accomplished as other stones found in the area. The stone is on display along with two other symbol stones (NJ42NE0029) within a stone and timber shelter at the north end of the carpark (NJ 4997 2659) near the entrance to the old St Luag's Church of Rhynie and cemetery (NJ42NE0053).
