In the course of the 1998 excavation of the later 'Pictish' multi-cellular building a small pebble carved on one face with an abstract geometric design and on the other with a crude rendering of a Pictish 'crescent and V-rod' symbol was found in the material surrounding the wall top and provisionally interpreted as the remains of a turf bank.
