"A large slab, which lay horizontally on the ground at the foot of a field about 200yds in a direct line from the front door of Carrickstone farm-house, and at the base of the slope of the field", was called the Carrick Stone. Inscribed on its surface was the word 'CARRICK', and local tradition said that it marked a Covenanter's Grave.
In 1857 the stone was used in the construction of a modern farmstead on the site of the older Carrickstone Farm, and is now lost.
