rectangular shape, but fractured along three edges, 3 feet long by 1 foot 6 inches high, sculptured in relief on one face. Front.- A portion of a single panel, containing a figure subject consisting of (on the left) three men in a chariot 1 drawn by a pair of horses abreast of each other; (below the chariot) a kneeling figure with a bow (as on the "D rosten" stone at S Vigeans, Forfarshire), shooting at a beast; (at the right hand upper corner) the hind part of a hound with its tail curved between its leg s; and (at the bottom on the right) a huge beast devouring a man, who lies prostrate on the ground and is thrusting a weapon into the beast's heart; facing it is a hound at bay, behind the archer another hound retreating.
This stone is now lost.
