The triple disc is a Pictish symbol of unknown meaning, that is found on Class I and Class II Pictish stones.[1] The symbol is found in various combinations with other symbols, notably with the crescent and v-rod. The symbol is constructed from a larger central circle flanked with two smaller circles on either side. It is sometimes shown with a "bar" bisecting all three circles.
