Archaeology Notes

NX74NW 41 733 488.

Coles reported that there was a cup-and-one-ring with a radial groove on a rock 90m (100 yds) W of the markings on NX74NW 40. RCAHMS, visiting the area in 1911, record a much weathered cup-and-two-rings, some 45-55m (50 or 60 yds) SW of NX74NW 40. Morris considers that these reports may refer to the same carving, but it has not been found in recent searches. F R Coles 1899b; RCAHMS 1914; R W B Morris and D C Bailey 1967; R W B Morris 1979.
