Location notes: This panel is part of the complex of monuments at Clava ('Clava cairns'), well known and much frequented by visitors. There is a car park and interpretation. It is located on a level river terrace to the SE of the river Nairn, in the flat bottom of the SW to NE valley. This is one of the kerbstones of the central cairn. It stands to the SE of the centre of the cairn, and in a clockwise direction is the last before a gap in the stones present today.
Panel notes: This panel is a rounded boulder of gneiss, set upright and about 0.9m high x 0.9m broad x 0.5 m thick. The carved surface faces to the SE towards the cup marked gneiss orthostat associated with this cairn. The single cup is shallow but smooth and distinct in the relatively rough surface of the rock.
