Refuge Stone, Torphichen Preceptory.
Within the churchyard, about 50 feet west-south-west of the church, is a pillar of coarse sandstone with a present height of 2 ½ feet above ground, square on plan. The pillar has been shaped, and the sides swell uniformly from the ground to the top, which is 12 ½ inches square. On the eastern face are five cupmarkings and a channel 6 ¾ inches in length. On the top of the shaft is wrought a circular socket, 2 inches in diameter and 1 ½ inches deep, connected with a cross-shaped channel measuring 6 ½ inches over the arms. These features probably have no connection with the cup-markings.
