As described. It is not clear whether a horse-shoe arrangement of natural boulders to the west is a deliberate setting or merely fortuitous.

Location Notes: This large trapezoidal boulder is situated on a low stone mound, possibly a clearance cairn, in rough grazing on a small natural terrace on the NE facing slope of a hill on the SW edge of Glen Lodan. There are remnants of rig and furrow on the terrace around the panel and on the slopes about 20m below to the E, and at least one clearance cairn on the same terrace as the panel. Twin standing stones are just visible in the valley bottom to the E of Glenamachrie Farm, and there are a number of cairns and duns in the same stretch of the valley.
Panel Notes: The boulder is upstanding to almost 1m, with a roughly trapeziodal upper surface. The surface is gently sloping to the E, and quite rough with several small hollows, fissures and pock marks. Two narrow fissures run ENE-WSW almost in parallel across the surface. Positioned between these fissures are 2 cupmarks and a number of circular depressions.
