Full Description

Two small fragmnets of sculptured Pictish? Stones were discovered by Hugh S. Fearn, in rockery of Tigh an Aigh.
This find adds to the evidence already known regarding the Pictish settlement site at Rosemarkie.
The smaller fragment appears to show the left hand terminal of a V rod. Measurement of the border both on the front face and edge correspond with the top left-hand corner of the large cross-slab at the museum. In addition, visually, the sandstone type and colour matches. Recent closer inspection of the top edge of the museum cross-slab shows that when the top was broken and was lost it is likely to have disintegrated into small pieces. This fragment may be one of these pieces.
