Fetterangus

An unusual 14-18 war memorial which also functions as a gate to the old kirkyard,

A class 1 symbol stone lies at the entrance to the graveyard of Fetterangus Church. It is of whinstone, 1.1m x 0.78m, and is much weathered, the carving is almost invisible to the naked eye, Near the top was a triple disc and bar or "cauldron" symbol below which was a rimmed "mirror case" its base containing opposed arcs with a palimpsest of another circular symbol overlapping it, at the bottom was a figure composed of a horizontal line and 2 curved lines one with a spiral end. Note some published descriptions are given with the stone the opposite way up to the above. Fairly clear photographs taken by Professor James Ritchie circa 1904 can be seen on the RCAHMS website (Archive Numbers: SC 676586, SC 676550, and SC1081353 the first stone shown on the linked page SC 676546 is another class 1 stone I cannot identify) follow the external link below .

Remains of recumbent stone circle; one remaining stone, impossible to say whether in situ or has fallen and been re-erected. The area of the circle, complete until about 1844, may have extended to the E of the stone. Apart from the stone, there is no trace of the other remains of the circle.
It is said to have been intentionally destroyed with explosives but I do not know how reliable this is.
