There are many theories about the stone because of the symbols found on it. Stone vandalism (vandalism is the act of knowingly and willingly damaging a person or public property, vehicle or product.) was buried again in 1965. In 2015, a 3-day excavation was carried out by archaeologists at the University of Glasgow in the area where the stone was found. Scientists want to copy all the motifs on the stone to another stone slab.


According to some researchers, a star map was drawn on the stone, and in ancient times people were looking at the stars with this stone. Archaeologists are using 3D modeling technology to create detailed digital footprint records on the stone. As a result of this modeling, they think they will “learn more about the people who use the Stone.” Petroglyphs (an archaeological art of painting made by chipping, drawing or painting on Petroglyph Rock is called a petrograph. ) was drawn again and again. Researchers have yet to figure out what mysterious symbols-in the form of circles, lines and spirals-mean. It is believed that the cup and ring ornaments found on the Cochno Stone were processed from 3000 BC.

There is also a Christian cross and two pairs of embossed footprints on the stone. Each fingerprint has only 4 fingers. Due to the decorations on the Cochno Stone, it has been designated and declared on the list of national monuments of national importance.

There may be a general idea of the position of the carved stones, which may provide some rules for their function. Symbols can be associated with burial practices. Archaeologist Kenny Brophy, from the University of Glasgow, who led the excavations, said he believed the research would lead to more information about the ornaments and stone. As in 1965, when the ongoing excavations are patched, it will be buried again in order to avoid damage and to pass the stone on to future generations.
