It is very tall, standing at 2.03m in height,1.98m in width and is just 0.15m deep. The inscription is faint but reads as "Maqacto Maq Gar Maqi Mucoi Z". The stone has been dated by Ziegler to 550 - 700 AD and is composed of micaceous sandstone. Local legend recalls that this was the stone of King Garbry Amalgaid prince of Tirawley. |
