About

The Cairnton Stone is a class I Pictish stone dating to the seventh century, discovered in 2001 at Cairnton Farm, near Newmachar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It bears the incised symbols of the Crescent and V-rod and triple disc. The carving appears on one face of a kite-shaped natural slab, which is weathered.

It was discovered lying in a large field clearance heap and was subsequently declared Treasure Trove. The stone is now in the collection of the Marischal Museum, Aberdeen.
