Date Fieldwork Started: 21/11/2018
Location Notes: The lower section of rock outcrop situated in rough grazing on the gentle SW slope of the hill with views to the S towards Lake Menteith and to the Bronze Age cairn on the shoulder of the hill about 800m to the SW. The panel lies about 60m NE of the burn and 30m N of a modern drainage ditch. There are the footings of at least two byre dwellings on the hill to the N, and other cup and ring marked panels nearby: Nether Glenny 26 is about 90m to the SE and Nether Glenny 27 is roughly 100m SE on the other side of the drainage ditch.
Panel Notes: A roughly rectangular area of outcrop with an undulating surface generally sloping gently to the SW. The carvings are mainly on the higher, easterly diagonal half of the panel and comprise 2 cups with 2 rings, 2 cups with conjoined single rings, 9 cups with single or partial rings and 16 cups of varying dimensions, some of the smaller ones of which may be natural.
