Location Notes: The panel is an erratic boulder situated just beside and to the N of the entrance to Clachmhor, a house to the E of the minor road to Culnakirk Farm. The panel lies on the SSE facing slope overlooking the River Enrick very near where it enters Loch Ness to the E. There are several small trees on the verge of the road beside the panel, including one about 1m to the W and another 3m to the N, and a post and wire fence lies to the NE. There is a second cup marked panel in the field about 80m to the NE called the Clachmhor stone, which is a scheduled monument. There are a number of prehistoric sites in the area, a Clava type cairn to the W, hut circles lie to the N and the multiperiod site of Garbeg is about 1km to the E.
Panel Notes: This is a large boulder of gneiss measuring 2.9 x 1.1m and up to 0.4m above of the grass of the verge. The boulder extends about 0.2m into the tarmac of the drive. On the day of the visit the grass around the boulder had been strimmed and the site appeared cared for. The owner of the nearby house knew of its presence. There is 1 very clear cupmark and another 6 cupmarks, with a further 2 possible cupmarks on the boulder. The deeper, more visible cup, along with 3 others lie in a possibly natural channel which runs NW-SE along the centre of the boulder. There are 2 prominent quartz inclusions running NW-SE either side of the channel. There is a single cup mark on the SW side of the boulder.
