Sueno's Stone is a Picto-Scottish standing stone carved from Old Red Sandstone but has suffered considerable weathering in places. The east face has four panels that show a large battle scene, but the top panel is quite weathered and shows rows of horsemen. There is general agreement that the stone dates to between the 9th and 10th centuries and it's the largest surviving Pictish stone of its type in Scotland. Forres, Moray, Scotland.
