NO 287 446 A sculptured stone was found on 29 September 1989, lying with its carved face downwards, on the bank inside the west gate of Meigle kirkyard. It is carved with a symmetrical pattern of four leaf-shaped elements forming a cross, with which a circle is interlaced. The design is neatly executed in relief within a sunken panel. It is reasonably well-preserved, but part has been broken off: all the sides of the slab have been damaged or cut down. Its present maximum length and breadth are 70cm by 44cm. The other face of the stone is smooth and uncarved, except where a rectangular socket has been sunk in one side of it.
