A coped grave stone, similar to the example at St Blane's (NS05SE 5.25), was discovered by D N Marshall built into a stone dyke near the shore at Ardnahoe. It was later built into the garden wall of the farmstead (at NS 0679 5764). Marshall's photographs and notes are held at Bute Museum, Rothesay.

Note (28 May 1943)
Miss Marshall of Stewarthall produced a photograph of a stone of triangular section, measuring apparently 6 ft in length and 12 in or more in height, which is now understood to be serving as the coping of a farmyard wall at Ardnahoe. The farmer is reported to have found it on or near the shore. It should be investigated when the Inventory is made.
