Location Notes: This rock sits on an E facing undulating spur between two straths looking towards the Cromarty Firth and the Sutors. It sits in rough pasture and is 120m E and down slope from a stone dyke just N of Drumore 7. There is a medieval farmstead 100m to the SE. The panel is part of the Scheduled Drumore group of cup marked rocks.
Panel Notes: A roughly rectangular rock measuring 0.73x0.45m with its longest axis running W to E. It rises to a maximum of 0.9m above the ground surface and has a smooth surface apart from one fissure. Quartz, feldspar, mica and garnets are visible within the rock matrix. There are 3 cupmarks, and 2 shallow depression that could possibly be cupmarks but are more likely to be natural features.
