Stands in the new manse garden, just off the road from Arbirlot to Kelly road.

This stone was discovered in the foundations of Arbirlot Church in 1852.

It was probably recumbent, and although originally thought to be Pictish, probably dates to about 1100 AD.  Two equal-armed crosses set in circles and two open books – probably bibles – are depicted and they strongly suggest that the stone commemorates an ecclesiastic.

A Celtic Culdee Community survived here until at least 1230 AD.
