Tappoch Broch 2
Location notes: In collection of National Museums Scotland (accession no. X.GM37), currently held in the Collections Centre.
Panel notes: A quadrangular sandstone panel measuring 0.5 x 0.45 x 0.2 m, recovered from excavations at Tappoch Broch, Stirling and now in the collection of National Museums Scotland (accession no. X.GM37). Two other carved stones (Tappoch Broch 1 and 3) were also recovered from the interior of the broch during the excavation. Tappoch Broch 2 appears to have originally formed part of a larger panel as some motifs are truncated. It features motifs in high relief, comprising one central circular raised boss surrounded by a single ring, one boss with a cup surrounded by two partial rings with a possible groove from the outer ring, and various grooves (one of which may surround another possible boss).
