Hill of Avochie 3
Submitted by NOSAS
Date of fieldwork: 02/12/2020
This panel is located on the W facing slope of the Hill of Avochie. It is one of three panels sited around the Hill of Avochie and is 16m SSE of Hill of Avochie 2. It is situated within an area of rough pasture and approximately 90m from the minor road which leads to a quarry and Hillhead of Avochie Farm. A fence approximately 25m to the E encloses the area where Hill of Avochie 1 (Canmore 294037, ScRAP 110) is located. It was previously grouped with Hill of Avochie 1 and 2 in Canmore 294037.
This is a small, roughly rectangular, grey/brown rock measuring approximately 0.9m X 0.63m, partially covered with turf and the exposed surface with lichen. Its long axis is orientated WE. The rock is low-lying, rising to 15cm at the W side and gently sloping to the ground towards the E. Four cups were identified on the W side of the rock surface. The largest of these was 6cm in diameter and located at the NW corner, with the other 3, smaller cups, placed in a line running N/S from it.
