Found when ploughing on 10 March 1978. A roughly kite-shaped gabbro boulder, 1.78m long, 0.70m maximum width, 0.39m thick at the base and 0.13m thick at the top; incised with the figure of a Pictish man carrying an implement or weapon resembling an axe over his shoulder.

The findspot is some 40m ENE of the Craw Stane (NJ42NE 35), but the steepness of the field in this area suggests that the stone may have been plough-dragged down from an original position on the crest of the hill shoulder, near the Craw Stane. Stone is at Barflat steading (See NJ52NW 32).
