This Pictish cross slab has a decorated cross on the front with angels flanking its head.  The reverse is very worn but a fine snake or adder symbol can still be clearly seen.  Legend has it that Malcolm II was killed here and that this stone marks the spot, but the King died in 1034 AD some two centuries after the slab was fashioned.
