Balnuarin of Clava Centre Kerb 1
Scotland's Rock Art Project ID: 3097
Location notes: The panel is part of the complex of monuments at Clava ('Clava cairns'), which is well known and much frequented by visitors. There is both a car park and on site interpretation. The site 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 panel is one of the kerbstones of the central cairn: it can be found on the E edge and is immediately to the right of another carved panel, Clava Centre Kerb 2. Both panels are recorded as a part of the Balnuarn of Clava, Centre, ring cairn and stone circle (Canmore ID:14277).
Panel notes: Approximately 1.1m in height, this panel is a kerbstone which leans towards the centre of the Balnuarn Of Clava, Centre, ring cairn and stone circle monument (Canmore ID:14277). This panel is at the inner end of one of the 'rays' which lead out to a standing stone. The surface of the panel is smooth and the cupmarks are indistinct: there are possibly 8 motifs in total. Richard Bradley (The Good Stones - A New Investigation of the Clava Cairns. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland 2000. Illustration p45, stone G) shows 12 cups, of which 4 would be below the current ground surface.
