NR 7076 3698 On the top surface of a rock outcrop lying flush with the ground, are up to eight cup marks. The surface area of the rock is 1.2m by 1.0m.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS (NKB) 30 January 1978.

Archaeological desk-based assessment and field inspection were undertaken in March 1996 within the area of a proposed plantation W of Loch Arnicle. Evidence for pre-recent settlement had previously been identified by the Strathclyde Joint Archaeology Service. The current survey identified additional unrecorded sites related to prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval land and livestock management practices.

The following site is amongst those recorded during the evaluation (NMRS reference numbers in brackets):

NR 7076 3698 Cup-marked rock (NR73NW 14).

Full details will be lodged with the NMRS.
