This stone is displayed inside the entrance to the parish Church in Alyth. It features a Latin Cross with a central depression and a spike at the base, which is an unusual feature. The arms and shaft are decorated with interlace work with four single spirals in the cross angles. On the rear is a double disk and z-rod.
The church is open on Saturday afternoons.
