Westfield Farm Refuge Stone submitted by Anne T : One of the other faces of the stone, where it shows slight traces of damage, presumably from having been toppled and re-erected. If the 1998 excavation report from Historic Scotland is correct, this stone may be prehistoric and associated with a larger prehistoric site, maybe having been reused as a Refuge Stone after the establishment of Torphichen Preceptory.

Westfield Farm Refuge Stone submitted by Anne T : A little like the Torphichen Preceptory Refuge stone, the stone is shaped, being narrower at the bottom. This was the case on only one of the sides of this sadly neglected stone. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Westfield Farm by cosmic on Friday, 03 April 2009
(User Info | Send a Message)
Two fragments of Pictish Class 1 stones were found in a steading at Westfield Farm in C19th and moved to the museum at Falkland Palace in 1971 when the steading was demolished.

Subsequently when that museum closed they were moved to Laing's Museum at Newburgh at NO 233 181.

The museum is open in the afternoons over the summer.

There is also a carved stone ball.
