https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sueno%27s_Stone

"Sueno's Stone is a Picto-Scottish Class III standing stone on the north-easterly edge of Forres in Moray and is the largest surviving Pictish style cross-slab stone of its type in Scotland, standing 6.5 metres (21 feet) in height.[1][2][3] It is situated on a raised bank on a now isolated section of the former road to Findhorn. The stone is named after Sweyn Forkbeard, but this association has been challenged[4] and it has also been associated with the killing of King Dubh mac Ailpin in Forres in 966.[5] The stone was erected c. 850–950 but by whom and for what, is unknown.[6]"
