Location Notes: The site of the reported panel is a small cairn (Scheduled Monument number 1788; HER number MHG44895). The cairn lies immediately on the S side of a very small burn which runs SE to the Dornoch Firth some 500m to the E. The cairn is about 12.5m in diameter and 1m high. There is a scatter of cairn stones visible through the grass which covers the cairn. The land around the cairn is rough grazing but on the day of the visit it did not appear to have been used by animals for some time. There are two very small mounds to the E of the cairn which may be cairns of clearance cairns, and a hut circle to the SE of the fence line just S of the cairn.
Panel Notes: The possible capstone of the cist is visible, but no carving or rock art can be seen on it. It was not appropriate to move the capstone especially as the cairn is scheduled. The previous report on the cairn describes a groove on the capstone which it states is on its underside, and suggests that the cup-marked part of the stone has been broken in the past and lost. Photographs were taken of the capstone but no 3D model was created.
