In February 1945 a grave containing a skeleton was discovered in the course of ploughing in what had formerly been parkland 100m S of Inchyra House; the skeletal remains, which included the upper part of a skull, an arm bone and shoulder socket, were re-buried without detailed examination; they had been covered by a large flat slab and forty-nine water-rolled stones. The slab was found to be decorated on both faces with Pictish symbols and on one side and one end with ogam inscriptions; it is now in Perth Museum (PMAG 5/1945). One end of one side is decorated with a double-disc symbol and a fish, while at the other end of the same side there appear to be two unfinished symbols: a 'tuning-fork' and a mirror. On the other side of the stone, a fish and a snake have been incised. There are four ogam inscriptions; no interpretation as to the meaning of the inscriptions can, however, be offered.
