I have a photo of this stone by Ken Williams on my wall. Du Noyer does it justice.

A little bit closer. I’ve been looking at this carving for quite a while and I got this strong feeling it symbolises a sun god sowing seeds and sunshine for a good harvest. Time for some fresh air methinks..

Cairn X1, decorated slab which seems to have been the backstone of the rear chamber of the cairn which stood here.
