NH43SE 82 4992 3107
About 12.5m to the SSE of a field gate situated to the S of Clachmhor (NH43SE 2), there is a small boulder, which the farmer pointed out as being cupmarked. It bears on its upper surface what is probably a natural depression, with, on the same plane, a roughly circular mark about 80mm in diameter. Although the latter resembles a single cupmark, it is probably also of natural origin.
