*Note: Sub-stones (e.g., 32c, 32d, 33e) are fragments or debitage associated with the main stone (sometimes they are different material so the association is merely historical) and may not have individual pages, further information about them will be found on the Stumps Page. Links point to the main stone’s page for context. Stone 80 (Altar Stone) is classified as sandstone from the Orcadian Basin, northeast Scotland, per recent research.
