What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Alyth as Cross Slab (pictish), Pictish Symbol Stone (pictish). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Dated to the Pictish period (circa 4th to 9th century AD), the Alyth Cross Slab is likely associated with early Christian symbolism and may have served as a memorial or waymarker. Pictish symbol stones often combined Christian and indigenous iconography, though the specific meaning of the symbols on this slab remains undeciphered.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
