Date Fieldwork Started: 18/03/2019

Compiled by: NOSAS

Location Notes: NOTE: the grid refs held on the HER (MHG53662) and Canmore records are incorrect. The panel is located E of Fluchlady on a steep SSE facing grassy slope. The secluded valley of the Clyne Burn, running W to E is below, and beyond that to the S is the rounded hill, Cnoc Ravoch. To the E, the Cromarty Firth and Black Isle are visible, with the Sutors and exit to the open sea in the distance.

Panel Notes: The panel is a rounded slab of schist, measuring about 1.5m by 1.6m, and 0.4m above ground level at its highest. The carvings are all on the flattish top surface which slopes about 20degrees to the S, and is divided by a step down to the S section. There are 48 cups, 3 cups with single rings, 1 cup with a partial ring, and 5 elongated cups, one of which on the N edge is narrower than the others.
