Apart from the scratch marks from the JCB that moved the stone and the modern setting that the stone rests on, the biggest give-away is the total lack of lichen on the stone. In this part of the country, it takes no time at all for lichen to take hold, so this stone is definitely of very recent provenance. Although I have no info on this stone as yet, I wouldn't be surprised if Rory T'igo (sp?) didn't have a hand in it. He's a local sculptor who has erected many new stones in the area. Many thanks for taking the trouble to look at the stone Ocifant - I thought it rather attractive glinting in the sunlight; guessed it was something recent and wondered 'why' it was there. My first thought was that it was a memorial of some sort but a holed stone sculpture makes more sense. Perhaps instead of 'why', a case of 'why not'.
