OS 25" map (1965)
There are two symbol stones (NJ81NE 8.01 and 8.02) in a recess in the E gable of St Fergus' Church (NJ81NE 13). One (NJ81NE 8.01) is of Class I and is incised with an 'elephant' symbol above a double disc and Z-rod. The other (NJ81NE 8.02) is of Class II and is sculpted on one face only with a Celtic cross ornamented with a central boss of spiral work and elsewhere with interlace. Beside it and below the shaft are the crescent and V-rod, mirror case, double disc and Z-rod, and the triple ring symbols.
Both of these stones are said to have been found in the glebe. They were built into the churchyard wall for a long time before being placed in their present position (J R Allen and J Anderson 1903).
