Two stones which are said to have belonged to the setting of standing stones at Laggangarn (NX27SW 4), but which may have once stood in the walled burial-ground at Kilgallioch (NX 2295 7231), were noted by Wilson 'lying at Pultadie'. Both had been dressed for gateposts and are now lost, but, according to M'Kerlie, one of the stones was reused as a lintel in the farmhouse at Laggangarn (NX 2204 7141) and then incorporated into the front of a new shed at Pultadie. It apparently bore a simple incised Greek cross (probably of 7th- to 9th-century date) consisting of a central transom with expanded arms and crosslet terminals to the shaft.
