Field Visit (1998)

NO34SE 17 359 437.

NO 359 437 A large, possible glacially deposited boulder was found in the valley of a tributary of the Denoon Burn by Mr and Mrs Brewster of Easter Denoon. It lies in an area of rough pasture which has never been cultivated. There are three simple crosses carved on different faces of the stone. These may represent boundary markers but the stone is not far from a medieval chapel and the Wester Denoon Pictish cross slab site, which may suggest an ecclesiastical connection.
