Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The artefacts included part of a gaming board of whalebone and a playing piece of polished antler along with pottery sherds and a fragment of window glass. Two sculptured grave slabs were decorated with two wheel-headed crosses and two Celtic crosses. The latter overlaid a grave containing a very decayed skeleton. Fragments of a Pictish symbol stone are now in the National Museum of Antiquities. The symbols comprise a mirror case, a crescent and V-rod, an elephant and an eagle. Below these is a procession of warriors. A stone with an incised cross was found in Area II. | ||
