Location Notes: This panel is on the summit of a S facing spur at an altitude of 180m; the spur is part of the upper lip of a steep slope which runs down to the river Conon. There are wide views to the S and over Strathconon with the junction of the Rivers Conon and Meig below. The panel is in an area of newly planted forest, with areas of more mature forest to the north where the ground eases. Just 2m to the S is a further cup marked rock (West Comrie 3).
Panel Notes: This panel is a large boulder with multiple surfaces measuring 1.4x1m in size and up to 0.7m in height. On the upper surface there is 1 possible cup and 3 depressions that may be natural features (carved surface A). On the S tip of the rock, facing S on a almost vertical surface, there is a further large circular depression 8cms in diameter, which is also probably natural.
