Background
Description
It is located beside a minor road west of Black Cairn Hill, around 1 mi southwest of Newburgh, where only the pedestal remains of what once was supposedly a cross. The stone is 3.75 ft high, 4.55 ft in length and 3.75 ft wide. There are various indents on the monument, suggested to have originally been nine cup and ring marks. Other crosses exist in Mortlach, Aberdeenshire; Kiels, Inverary; Strathlacplan, Argyll; and on Iona, Islay and Oronsay.
