Hill of Avochie 2
Date Fieldwork Started: 02/12/2020
Compiled by: NOSAS
Location Notes: The panel is located in rough grazing on the W facing sloping of Hill of Avochie, in a field which is used for cattle. The road to a quarry and Hillhead of Avochie farm lies approximately 100m to the W and a fence approximately 30m to the E. The panel is one of two situated 16m apart, with Hill of Avochie 3 to the SSE. Approximately 150m to the E is Hill of Avochie 1 (NJ 54173 46545, Canmore ID 294037). It was originally grouped with these panels under the same Canmore ID (294037)
Panel Notes: Before cleaning, the panel was partially covered with turf. On carefully turning back the turf 4 more cup marks were identified. The exposed rock surface measures 1.3 x 1.1m with the longer axis lying in a N-S direction. It lies close to the ground, rising 7cm at the N end: where it tapers to a point and gently slopes to the ground at the S end. There are two deep cracks at the N end of the rock. Ten cups were identified; 4 larger than 5cm in diameter and 6 smaller than 5cm. The largest was 7cm in diameter and 2cm deep. One has a possible radial. A further possible cupmark was noticed half way along the E side.
