Sculptured Stone in Churchyard.

This stone is set with its axis north and south and stands with a distinct inclination to the north. It is 2 feet 6 inches in height, 1 foot 11 inches in width across its broad faces, and averages 1 foot 3 inches in thickness. There has been sculpturing on the east and west faces, but the design cannot now be identified owing to the weathered condition of the surface. The top of the stone has been converted into a sundial bearing the date 1698 in incised figures, the first two of which are 1 5/8 inches in height and the others 2 1/8 inches. Cf. Early Christian Monts., p. 374. Another sculptured stone from Dunino is in the Cathedral Museum, St. Andrews.

RCAHMS 1933, visited 8 July 1925.
