NJ62NE 19 693 279 removed to 7049 2592 and to 8151 1294

This stone now stands on a bank beside the driveway of Kinellar House (NJ 815 129), see NJ81SW 176.

In the autumn of 1914 Mr J Gordon, farmer, Newton of Lewesk removed a block of stone which lay embedded in the soil about 300 yards SW of the farm-steading and a few yards away from a dry-stone dyke. After the removal symbols were noted on the face which had been hidden. The stone, of red granite 2ft 10ins long, and 7ins thick, is the only example known to have a rectangle with rod attached. It has been placed beside the 3 symbol stones (NJ72NW 7) at Logie House.

J Ritchie 1916; W D Simpson 1943.
