Date Fieldwork Started: 16/04/2019
Compiled by: Rock Art Bute
Location Notes: The stone is located close to the bottom of the gentle SE facing slope of Torran Turach, in rough grazing overlooking a slightly boggy area in the valley bottom. A fence line runs roughly N-S along the bottom of the valley. Torran Turach 1 and 2 lie upslope approximately 25m to the NW.
Panel Notes: A rectangular shaped boulder roughly 1x0.6m jutting out of the hillside and largely covered by moss and heather. The upper surface is very slightly sloping, with a possible shallow cupmark situated about 0.5m from the outer edge of the panel.
