Location Notes: The panel lies in bracken and moorland on the NNE facing slope of a low knoll on the SE side of Loch Naver and the NW slopes of Ben Klebreck. It is one of many boulders scattered across the slope. To the SE (about 50m) there is a degraded hut circle, visible as a scatter of boulders with the NW arc now below the turf.
Panel Notes: This is is a large irregularly shaped boulder measuring 2.50m NW-SE by 1.40m and rising to a maximum height of 0.3m. The surface of the boulder is covered with natural pits and hollows but at the ENE side there is a series of 14 rings with pronounced upstanding 'boss-like' centres, some with central cups or short linear grooves. There are a few deep circular hollows with flattish bases as if some rock material had been removed. Some of the rings are on the side of the boulder others along the top surface, and 1 partial ring on the N edge. There are 4 possible small cups and some short linear grooves on the top of the boulder. It is not certain that any of these markings are rock art, and the ring shapes are more characteristic of miniature and/or medieval 'pot querns'.
