This stone is now in Dundee Museum (Accession no DUNMG 1991-173). Prior to its removal in October 1991, a limited excavation was undertaken which demonstrated that the stone had been erected on this position in the late 19th century. It is probable that the 17th-century recumbent grave stones immediately E of where the stone stood were also placed there at this time. Examination of the graveyard soils below the foundation cut for the stone suggested that the graveyard had been substantially landscaped and built up during the early 19th century.
