The 'Lecker Stane', Mawhill
This large undressed slab of freestone is laid flat on the top of a low dyke adjoining the W side of the road to Mawhill farmhouse, about half a mile from that steading. It measures 6ft 4ins in average length, 4ft in width E-W, and has an average thickness of 6 to 7ins. The stone, which is known as 'The Lecker Stane', shows no markings although it looks like it may have had a plaqe on it at some point.
Locally it is asserted that, during the passage of a funeral to the churchyard, the coffin was rested on this stone and 'liquor' was served as a refreshment to the mourners.
Aonther theory is that it may have been a stadnig stone moved when Balado airfield was constructed.
The cache is large enough for travel bugs.
