This fine symbol stone was blown up in the 19th Century and the fragments used to construct a dyke but most of it was later reassembled with cement infills. Until recently it was in open farmland, but is now surrounded by suburban housing. It is decorated with Pictish crescent and V-rod and a serpent and Z-rod symbols as well as Ogam characters.
