Location Notes: Located close to the top of a plateau on the SE facing slope of a hill which faces towards the Lake of Menteith at Nether Glenny in the middle of a field of rough grazing, roughly 80m SE of the N field wall, 100m N of the S fence line and 25m WSW of the E extent of the field and fence line. There is a mature forestry plantation approximately 250m to the SW, a denuded cairn around 75m to the S and a second larger, upstanding cairn is approximately 150m to the S. Currently in use for cattle rough grazing with open views from the SW to the E and N where the Over Glenny abandoned township and associated field systems are visible.
Nether Glenny 20 (ScRAP ID 623, Canmore ID 78360), another carved outcrop, is located approximately 70m to the NNE.
This panel has previously been recorded in a different location (see M van Hoek 1989 & RCAHMS 15 May 1995) 68m to the N of the location recorded here.
Panel Notes: A large, roughly arrowhead shaped, undulating exposed area of bedrock at ground level, measuring 5.7 x 3.3m, with long ridges running from S to NE along the longest axis. Heavily decorated with numerous areas of closely carved cup marks. There are 90 cup marks, with five distinct groups and several outliers, three grooves, 5 cup and rings (plus one possible), 1 cup and a partial ring, 2 cups and double rings and 2 cups within one oval ring. There are two groups of cupmark motifs carved along two slim and flat tops of ridges. The panel is eroding on the NW side where it has been heavily de-turfed. There are many natural hollows and grooves across the outcrop.
