Location Notes: This stone has been moved at least twice. It is now the second from the west end of a row of large stones which form a decorative feature in front of a newly (re)built dry stone wall (c.2015) topped by a cyprus hedge along the frontage of a house facing on to a track. It is the only cup marked stone in the row. The stones were moved a few hundred metres from a collapsed culvert (NH 52352 60048), just south of Brae farm, in about 2017. It is likely that the stone was moved from a surrounding field when the culvert was constructed.

Panel Notes: The small stone measures 1.4m by 1m and stands up to 0.5m in height in its current position. There are 4 large cups and 16 smaller cups. The grooves were probably caused when the stone was moved, and are thought unlikely to be contemporary with the cupmarks.
