Sculptured Stone: A roughly triangular stone, about 2ft by 3ft, lies on a grassy slope between two ranges of cottages, aligned N-S, to the NE of Lybster Harbour, and some 40 yds S of the northernmost cottages. An equal-limbed Celtic cross, 20ins wide, is cut across its right corner. About 1726 (Macfarlane 1906-8) the stone was said to lie 'on the face of a brae above the inlett of this burn (Risgil) to which.... many frequented in the time of superstition.'
W Macfarlane 1906-8; RCAHMS 1911.
