Location Notes: The panel lies at an altitude of 196m in forestry in a small valley on a generally SE facing hillside, just 20m to the SW of a burnt mound. It is also close to and above a multiperiod settlement site, overlooking Loch Garve and what is now, and probably always has been, a major routeway between the E and W coasts of Scotland
Panel Notes: This roughly rectangular schist boulder measures 2.5 x 1m with a maximum height of 1m. Its upper surface is rough with ridges of bedding planes and garnet inclusions. There is a line of four cups on the upper surface. All are between 8 and 10 cms diameter, one is well defined and 2cms deep the others much more eroded and just 1cm deep. It is possible that there could be faint rings around two of the three eroded cups.
