NH67SW 55 c. 6473 7414

(Location cited as NH c. 6473 7414). Sandstone slab, 120.0 x 40.0 x 8.5cm, found by the farmer while ploughing at Dalnavie Farm. It bears three incised symbols (from top to bottom), depicting an inverted 'L', a crescent and v-rod, and a mirror and comb. The stone appears to be complete, narrowing at the base where it would have been inserted into the ground. It was found close to the presumed findspots of the Ardross wolf and deer/horse stones, but is clearly in a different stone and by a different hand. Museum Acc. No: INVMG 2002.013
