The Migvie cupmarked stone, unearthed during the 19th century, lay until very recently just a few metres south of Glack Farmhouse, a short distance east of Migvie kirkyard. The boulder consists of red sandstone and, according to Canmore, carries on its upper surface some 42 cupmarks about 10 millimetres deep and averaging 40 millimetres in diameter.
The rock has now been placed in the neighbouring Migvie Churchyard, where it sits near the wall on its east side. Most importantly, the cupmarked stone is now in a much safer place.
