HU 432 279 A fragment of an Early Historic sculptured stone slab with relief carving on one face was found in grave-digging in Mail churchyard. The main feature is a double disc and Z-rod with the unusual addition of a cross of arcs decorating each of the circular fields of the discs. There is also a fragment of interlace above the Pictish symbol, although it is unclear whether the fragment is part of a cross-slab. This example complements the previous find of the ‘Mail stone’ from the same graveyard.
Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT20/08) and allocated to Shetland Museum
