Location Notes: This panel rock is part of a group of cupmarked rocks all recorded under one Canmore entry: Canmore 12923. The panel is situated beneath a fallen tree within a copse of Scots pines, in an area of rough grazing, on the undulating S facing lower slopes of Meall A Ghuail. It looks out over Strath Sgitheach, and the river Sgitheach 800m to the S. There is a track 100m W of the panel leading from the river up to Cioch Mhor. About 1km to the W there is another group of cupmarked rocks, and hut circles and a field system.
Panel Notes: The panel is small and triangular shaped, measuring 1.2x0.6m with its long axis orientated N to S. It rises to 0.3m from ground level. The rock and carved surface slope to the NW and are smooth. There are 4 cupmarks located on the NW part of the panel.
