Do you mean the carved hog-back stone in front of the church?

I, too, would like more specifics about it's location. I'm having a tough time finding something other than grave markers.

Is this the thin stone at the front of the church? because Dalserf is only a tiny wee village.

I'd like to correct an error regarding Dalserf. Your site places it in East Lothian. East Lothian borders the Firth of Forth to the East of Edinburgh. Dalserf is in South Lanarkshire, beside the River Clyde, about halfway between the towns of Hamilton and Lanark itself.
