This carved stone ball, which is a Type-7 in Marshall's classification, was noted by the Ordnance Survey in 1969, when it formed part of a joint display mounted from the 1930s to the 1970s in Aberdeen Regional Museum. Material for the display was drawn from several museums, including the Aberdeen City Museum and Art Gallery, Marischal Museum, and Inverurie Museum, but the Ordnance Survey did not note the accession number of the ball and it is not known to which collection it belongs. It is not in Marischal Museum, Aberdeen.
