Note (7 August 2018)

Scotland’s Rock Art Project

Date Fieldwork Started: 07/08/2018

Compiled by: NOSAS

Location Notes: The panel is situated in rough grazing within an abandoned settlement site comprising one house and several enclosures, 50 m NW of a forestry plantation. It is on the S facing slope overlooking Strath Sgitheach, with the river and the open landscape to the S. The ground immediately around the panel is reasonably level, rising to the N.

Panel Notes: The panel is a roughly wedge-shaped area of rock outcrop that was completely covered in grass/heather when located. It is flush with the ground on its NW edge, and rises about 0.2m above the sloping ground on it SE edge. The upper surface is flat and bears 8 cupmarks of up to 70mm in diameter, in no apparent pattern.
