Balnuarin of Clava Centre Kerb 2
Scotland's Rock Art Project ID: 3098
Location notes: The panel is part of the complex of monuments at Clava ('Clava cairns'), 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 on the E edge of the monument and can be found immediately to the left of another panel recorded as Clava Centre Kerb 1. Both panels have been recorded as a part of the Balnuaran of Clava, Centre, Ring Cairn and Stone Circle monument (Canmore ID: 14277).
Panel notes: Approximately 0.9m in height and 0.9m in width, this panel is an outer kerbstone of the Balnuaran of Clava, centre, ring cairn and stone circle (Canmore ID: 14277). The panel can be found at the inner end of one of the 'rays' which lead out to a standing stone. The surface of the panel is smooth with some possible markings, but no cups marks could be detected. Richard Bradley (The Good Stones - A New Investigation of the Clava Cairns. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland 2000. Illustration p45, stone F) previously recorded 6 cupmarks.
