This rock shelter is situated in moorland at the NW tip of Bute, on a rocky WNW-facing slope set some 160m back from the present shoreline. It comprises a very large, roughly horizontal, slab resting on boulders on the E and W, the space beneath measuring 3.6m from N to S by 2.1m transversely and 1.1m in height. Tumble at the open N and S ends of the shelter may be the remains of walling. The location of the shelter was recorded by a hand-held GPS device (Garmin Legend with a 7m quoted accuracy).
