A large quantity of worked stone has been uncovered in a garden in Strathmore Street, Bridgend, having apparently been collected by a previous occupant at the end of the last century.
The material includes stone troughs, querns, pillar sections, curling and stackle stones and a large quantity of glass waste. Individual objects of note are:
1. The top part of an 18th Century gravestone with a worn inscription and plan view of a small boat with two fish in it.
2. A square pillar top of uncertain date with faces carved in romanesque style across each corner and an incised initial on two of the four faces.
3. Fragment of a moulded rybat, probably from an ecclesiastical structure.

The gravestone is now held in Perth Museum under accession number PMAG 1988.130.
