Battle of Mortlach
From Mortlach Kirk:
When Malcolm Canmore defeated a force of Danes led by Sweyn in a battle at Mortlach in 1010 he had the church enlarged by three spear lengths in celebration. The traditional site of the battle is on the haugh, or meadow, below the churchyard, though the official mapping from the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) puts it almost immediately opposite the kirk, up the hill.
From Canmore: site record for Mortlach, The Battle Stone:
A symbol stone known as the 'Battle Stone' stands in the middle of the field below Mortlach churchyard (NJ33NW 10) On it are incised a Celtic cross, two fish, a bird, serpent, horseman, etc. A further stone, incised with an elephant symbol, was found in 1925 in the grave- yard, and has been built into the churchyard wall. - J R Allen and J Anderson 1903; W D Simpson 1926.
