This fragment of a Class I symbol stone was found during ploughing at Barflat farm in 1978 to the south-south-east of the Craw Stane and to the south of the Rhynie Man. It features a Pictish beast, part of an S-shaped curvilear symbol and a comb. It is now housed in a wooden shelter in Rhynie kirkyard car park along with Rhynie 5 and Rhynie 6.
