Location Notes: The panel lies on a hillside sloping down to the SE into Strath Sgitheach and up to the NW towards Meall a'Ghuail about 1 km away. Cioch Mhor lies about 1 km to the W. The rock lies on the N side of a stream running in a 2m deep gully. The rock lies at an angle of 30 degrees, and it looks as though it may originally have been flat-lying and only later slipped into the gully.
Panel Notes: The panel, which measures 2.5 x 1.5m and up to 1.4m in height, has 6 shallow cups 4cm in diameter on a flat surface sloping 30 degrees to the SW. It looks as though it may originally have been flat-lying and only later slipped into the gully.
