Archaeology Notes

NH92NE 47 NH 98559 25898

Seven cupmarks, the largest measuring 70mm in diameter by 17mm in depth, are disposed in a rough arc on an exposed section of bedrock immediately W of Balnuick farmsteading. These cupmarks were first recorded in 1995 (Highland Council SMR NH 92NE 0021); two other areas of bedrock bearing cupmarks in this vicinity (NH92NE 0016 & 0020), which were noted at the same time, were not found on the date of visit.

Visited by RCAHMS (TIP, GB) 13 October 2006.
