Note (15 November 2017)
Date Fieldwork Started: 15/11/2017
Compiled by: NOSAS
Location Notes: The site is on the S facing slope overlooking the River Peffery with Knockfarrel to the SSW and the Beauly Firth to the SE and the Cairngorms beyond. To the NW Ben Wyvis is visible.
The small boulder with the rock art panel appears to have been relocated a long time ago into a now collapsed and partially grassed stone dyke. The area around the dyke is likely to have been more actively cultivated in the past. There are other stones (Fodderty 1 and Fodderty 3) with rock art in the nearby area.
The ground around the panel is a grassy field with occasional clumps of gorse. There is a surfaced track to the S and W of the site with a post and wire fence enclosing the field. There is a recently planted area of mixed deciduous and conifer trees planting beyond the track.
Panel Notes: The rock art is on an almost circular small boulder c.0.4m in diameter. It is set into the ground but appears to have been moved to its present position where it may have formed part of the collapsed dyke or alternatively cleared from the adjacent field to the base of the dyke. The boulder has 5 clear cups and 1 possible cup and a cup and ring on the top of the slightly WNW sloping stone.
