Location Notes: The panel is a prominent rock outcrop located on top of the hill, on the SE side of the ridge within felled forestry. The panel slopes to the SE, following the trend of the slope. There are extensive views of the Craignish peninsula. Notable landmarks include Loch Mhic Mhairtein, approximately 200m to the W. There is a track approximately 250m to the NE but is extremely overgrown and hard to find. The panel is in its original location and there are no known archaeological features in the immediate vicinity, although the location of rock art panels at Barrackan (Canmore 22587, ScRAP 284) and Creag a'Chait (Canmore 22568, ScRAP 2269) can currently be seen approximately 1km to the N.

Panel Notes: This large schist outcrop is oval in shape, measuring 3.5 x 1.5m with a maximum height of 0.6m and a minimum height of 0.2m, with a birch tree growing on one side of it. The surface is rounded shape and gently sloping to the SE. It is a hard rock with a medium grain size with numerous fissures running NE-SW across the surface. On the southern side of the panel there are 11 cupmarks in various alignments, and 1 courgette which forms an alignment with 6 of the cupmarks. There is a partial ring around the last cupmark in this alignment, connecting it to the courgette. The rocky outcrop continues for over 1m beyond the birch tree, but no motifs were found on that part of the surface.
