Note (18 April 2019)
Date Fieldwork Started: 18/04/2019
Compiled by: Rock Art Bute
Location Notes: The panel is situated in rough grazing and gorse on the W facing slope of Lenihuiline Hill, about 20m E of the edge of the woodland, and 2m E of a farm track that leads steeply down to the shore. It is immediately next to Lenihuiline 4, and both stones are likely to have been moved from their original locations, possibly to accommodate the farm track. The carved stone of stone of Lenihuiline 2 lies about 60m to the NW, and the chambered cairn of Cairn Ban lies in woodland about 300m SE. There are open views across the Kyles of Bute to the mainland.
Panel Notes: This is a slightly rounded mica schist boulder measuring 1.2x0.9m and 0.5m high with its upper surface sloping slightly to the W, following the slope of the hill. There is a fine fissure on the E edge of the panel and a triangular chunk of stone missing from the NE edge. There are 3 large cups on the upper surface, measuring 5-6cm diameter, 3 possible cups, 2 cups with arcs, one of which is elongated, and 1 cup with 2 partial rings or arcs in the centre of the panel.
