Overview

History & significance

The site, located approximately ninety metres north-north-west of Parkside, comprises the remains of a chapel structure alongside a Pictish symbol stone, indicating occupation and religious use from at least the early medieval period. The cross slab represents an important example of Pictish stone carving tradition, though the chapel itself likely dates to the medieval period when earlier sacred sites were frequently reoccupied or rebuilt.
