CARVED STONE
Fife

Description

Roughly squared stone block with incised (rune-like) criss cross decoration on one side. The stone measures approx. 1m x 0.7m x 0.7m. It is located amongst boulders on the east side of the site of Cunningham's Castle. The regularity and straightness of the incisions, and the location in close proimity to an historic site give some credence to this being a legitimate carved stone. However, it is possible these are natural striations.
