One of the best displays of prehistoric rock art in Galloway, this rock sheet, about 30m long, bears several groups of cups and cups-and-rings. Some of the ringed cups are set within a fIeld of massed simple cups, and their outer rings are widely spaced. The greatest ring diameter is 0.45m.
Casts of this remarkable pattern are exhibited in the Stewartry Museum, Kirkcudbright, which also houses cup-and-ring marked slabs from Blackmyre (NX 497570) and Laggan (NX 5453).
Information from ‘Exploring Scotland’s Heritage: Dumfries and Galloway’, (1986).
