(Area: NJ 703 151). A Class II symbol stone, found about 1800 in a field near the river, was set up at NJ 7036 1478 which was the nearest point of the public road, where it is published on the 1st edition of the 6" OS map. By 1903 it had been removed to Monymusk Castle (NJ61NE 5) where it is built into an inside wall of the billiard-room and shut into a recess by an oak door. It is a pillar of granite 7' high by 2'6" wide sculptured in semi-relief on one face with an equal-armed decorated cross, with hollowed 'arm-pits', which spring from a narrow shaft. Under this is the 'step' symbol and an ornamented disc.
