In the early twentieth century a Pictish Symbol Stone was recorded built into the wall of a farm building at Balneilean. Today, the location of the stone is not known, as the farm buildings have now been covered by a cement wash. At one end, the stone bore three incised circles enclosed by a larger circle; at the other end there were a number of lines which may have represented an unfinished version of a symbol known as the 'Pictish Beast.'
