Description: John Stuart's description: PLATE XLI. The fragments at Stonehaven are said to have formed part of a wall which surrounded the top of an insulated rock called Dinnacare, standing at no great distance from the shore, about a mile and a half to the south of Stonehaven. They are now in the possession of the Keeper of the Gas Work at Stonehaven, who found them at Dinnacare about sixteen years ago. There were other similar fragments which have since disappeared. One of them is supposed to form the hearthstone of the house of James Brown, Fisherman, Stonehaven.
