This stone was found at the farm of the same name at roughly NJ692276 but moved to its present location a long time ago. It is now located by the start of the parking spaces in the driveway to Kinellar House just off the A96. Its conditionis not particularly good - the top is supposedly a mirror case with a double crescent near the bottom with a crudely drawn oblong (a later addition) in between.

Newton of Lewesk submitted by golux : This symbol stone was found at Newton of Lewesk in 1914. It was placed with the three symbol stones (relocated from the Moor of Carden) at Logie Elphinstone House then later moved to this location. It shows four closely-placed or overlapping symbols: a disc-and-rectangle at the top, a rectangle with a straight line (rather like a shield and spear) and a double crescent (mostly buried out of sight)...
