Location Notes: The panel is situated in a stone tumble on the E side of a steep rocky scarp, close to the base of the slope. It is located in moorland on the S edge of a large mound of stones that includes a number of small sub-circular structures that are possibly sheiling huts or animal pens (see Newman D and Auger R, 2018, Six 'lost' Beveridge sites on North Uist rediscovered). The panel rests on top of two upright slabs and some stone tumble, creating a hollow space beneath it that Beveridge suggested was a cist, although it appears more likely to be a natural formation.
Panel Notes: This is a roughly triangular shaped slab of gneiss, measuring 1.9x0.8m and 0.5m thick. It juts out from the hillside and rests on two upright slabs and stone tumble. The gently sloping upper surface has an approximate alignment of 4 large circular and sub-circular depressions along its E edge, the largest measuring 10cm in diameter. The smallest of these, on the N end of the panel, is quite rough and may be natural whilst the other 3 may be cupmarks of uncertain date.
