Location Notes: The site is at an abandoned croft house and which is presently very overgrown with nettles and long grass. The cup marked stone is lying among an area of abandoned wood, metal and tyres c.1m SW of the porch of the house and c.2m in front of the W wall. On the day of the visit the stone was hidden under grass and moss, this was replaced after the rock was photographed at the time of survey.

Panel Notes: The rock art panel is a block of sandstone 0.7m E-W by 0.4m and 0.3m high. It is not in its original position and may have been used in the original building of the croft house 100 plus years ago. However there is no mortar on the stone so it may have been found elsewhere and left beside the croft house. There are 5 large deep cups on the rock; it is possible that there is a groove between 2 of the cups.
