Low Curghie Print E-mail

Shortly before 1860 a grave was discovered near to Low Curghie; a stone slab bearing a badly weathered Latin inscription, possibly dating to the 5th/6th century, covered it. The original description of the stone (which is now lost) records that the name Ventidius was legible together with another, which translated as "sub-deacon". It is thought that this could be the 5th stone from Kirkmadrine. The grave being of a much later date. A standing stone is situated 460m NNW of Low Curghie.
