Park House

This fragment of a Class I symbol stone was taken around 1821 from its position at NO 794 984 on Keith’s Muir, to the east of East Park farm (formerly known as Bakebare Farm), and was set up on a pedestal within the grounds of Park House around 100m north-north-east of the house.

In the middle of the south-east face of the stone is a crescent and V-rod with part of a notched rectangle above and parts of a mirror and comb below.
