Kilmodan Carved Stones, Medieval grave slabs in Clachan of Glendaruel, Scotland.
The Kilmodan Carved Stones consist of nine late-medieval West Highland grave slabs and one post-Reformation grave slab, displayed in a burial aisle.
Dating from the medieval period, these stones were created as burial markers for notable individuals and placed in the graveyard surrounding St Modan's Church.
The intricate carvings on these stones demonstrate the technical skills of medieval Scottish craftsmen and their methods of commemorating the deceased.
Located in the Cowal Peninsula at coordinates 56°00′31″N 5°13′03″W, the site remains accessible to visitors throughout the year without entrance fees.
One stone, initially thought to be the head of the medieval Cross of Garvie, was later identified as a pillar shaped by its use as a tethering post.
