D N Marshall 1985.

The exact location of this cup-marked rock was not recorded when first reported, but the reference to it being situated ‘about 250m inland from Rhubodach 1' (NS07SW 19) would place it within what is now an area of forestry about 590m SW of Rhubodach Cottage, c.NS 023 734. It was not found on the date of visit.
