This stone has been identified through an art impression process by the contributor, to reveal a figure of a Pictish warrior measuring 113.5cm (3ft8ins) high, 27m (11ins) wide on the topmost portion of the 9ft tall stone. The figure is in a striding position facing left in profile, and carries a spear with pommel end in the right hand and an oblong square sheild in the left. To the lower right, 10cm (4in) from the figure, is the Pictish symbol called the arch or horseshoe. The inclusion of a Pictish symbol together with a charecteristic Pictish male figure makes this stone unique in the Pictish repertory of symbol stones with incisied figures.
