Several hundred cups are cut upon a rock of mica slate about 60' x 20' on the farm of Cragantol (NN 658 379), a few hundred yards from the road, between it and Loch Tay, near the ninth milestone from Kenmore.

The ridge of rock that bears the cups lies some 150 yds off the road and runs E-W. There are 95 cups, some very faint, but in addition there are numerous slight marks, possibly weathered cups.

NN 65631 37993. There are at least 113 cupmarks on an exposed outcrop in rough grazing about 170m to the NW of Craggantoul farmsteading. At least thirty-nine cups, some of them arranged in rows, are clustered on the highest point of the outcrop, at its SW end. The largest of these measures 90mm in diameter and 50mm in depth. Another forty-two cups, up to 100mm in diameter and 40mm in depth, are to be found along the SE edge of the outcrop, including eighteen cups arranged in a rough line extending towards the SW end. The remaining thirty-two cups are grouped into seven small clusters, most of them towards the NE edge of the outcrop.
