Location Notes: The panel is located near the middle of a large arable field between, to the W, the minor public road to Blackhills and, to the E, the policies of Foulis Castle. It lies on the S side bank of a low grass and nettle covered mound of rubble that is thought to be the ruined remains of an old wayside chapel called Cnoc an Teampuill, or a burial cairn (see Canmore ID 12897). The panel was ploughed up from nearby in the later 20th century and moved to its present location for safety (Hector Munro pers comm). Since 2010 an area of non-cultivation has been established around the chapel/burial site. The cup marked stone Cnoc an Teampuill 2 is not far away.
Panel Notes: The panel is a flat rectangular slab of schist measuring 1.3m x 1.0m and 0.3m thick, decorated over the whole upper surface. There are 54 cups, some of which are at the end of grooves. In addition, 8 wide courgette-type grooves, and 2 cups with faint single rings. The largest cup is 75mm in diameter and 25mm deep. The is also some plough damage. The surface is heavily eroded, and a part of the surface which has 1 cup and part of a cup on it is loose/spalling.
