NO30NE 1 c. 363 096

Class I symbol stone.

(Undated) information in NMRS.

Found on Walton Farm and formerly preserved in Crawford Priory; a cast of the slab was presented to National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) in 1894 (IB 175). A partly dressed sandstone slab (0.3m by 0.3m and 0.13m thick), it bears the head of an eagle and a curved shape sometimes interpreted as an terret. When the stone was examined in NMAS in 1971 doubts were expressed about its authenticity.
