It was found below the surface of the Grave Yard, from which it has recently been lifted and placed in an an erect position. "The figures which appeared on these stones, (Those taken from Castle Hill) brought to Mr Watt's recollection a similar stone in the churchyard of Kintore, which had for many years been lost sight of, and which, from having been placed over a grave had gradually sunk below the surface. On removing the soil at the spot where he last recollected it, the stone was discovered. It is of a dark coloured granite." Sculptured Stones of Scotland |
