Location notes: The panel is located as described in the roof of the souterrain, in a recessed area between two large granite roofing slabs. It is difficult to see, partly obscured by the surrounding stones, and is best accessed by touch. A second cup and ring marked stone is in a similarly recessed area between roofing slabs on the immediately opposite side of the passage. A second souterrain (Canmore 160272, ScRAP 989) with cupmarked rocks is situated about 400m due S. Both souterrains and their cupmarked rocks are mentioned in the Canmore record 17079 (ScRAP 2284).
Panel notes: The panel is partially hidden by roofing slabs, with an area of about 0.4x0.4m exposed, although the stone is larger this. The carved surface faces inwards towards the souterrain passage. It comprises 4 wide, linear parallel grooves with tapered ends (not dissimilar to the marks left by the prongs of a JCB), and part of a possible fifth groove at the wall edge . Further S, very close to the surrounding roofing slabs, are two wide shallow cups connected by a groove. One of the 4 linear grooves described above comes from each cup, and the remaining 2 linear grooves extend from the groove connecting the 2 cups.
