Location Notes: Ardifuir 11 is located at the col below and to the N of Dun an Fheidh, and immediately to the N of a stone dyke. The land rises steeply to the N and SE, and Ardifuir 13 (ScRAP 2262, Canmore 39145) is located about 30m to the NNE. To the E the land drops steeply to the valley, before rising again in a NE-SW running rocky ridge along which Ardifuir 2-7 are located, and visible from Ardifuir 11. To the W there are clear views to the sea and Jura.

Panel Notes: A large, roughly square panel measuring 2.5 x 2.4m, with a maximum height of 0.4m and level with the ground elsewhere. The rock surface slopes gently to the E and is domed to the N, with multiple fissures running N-S and one large fissure running E-W. The panel is carved with 1 cup with two rings, 2 cups with one ring or partial rings, 3 cups with penannulars and radials, and 12 simple cups, of which two are shallow and only possible cups.
