Achnabreck 3: On the crest of a rock outcrop which lies in a pasture field about 140m SE of NR89SE 2, there are faint traces of what may be a group of cup-and-ring marks, but on the date of visit they were too indistinct to record in detail. Morris (1977) records that the decoration included one cup with two probable rings, three cups with single rings and a single plain cupmark.

Location Notes: The panel is located on a S facing slope in a field of rough grazing about 700m due N of Mill House, Achnabreck and 100m WNW of old Achnabreck settlement. It appears as a prominent rock outcrop when approaching uphill from the S. It is about 140m SE of the main Achnabreck carved rocks (Achnabreck 1 Canmore 399552, ScRAP 2762, and Achnabreck 2).
Panel Notes: This is a large rounded outcrop about 7 x 5.4m and maximum 2m height, dotted with moss and lichen. It has a relatively narrow flat top, which is carved, and a steeply sloping S face that falls away at 45 degree to the lower ground level. The carvings are faint and eroded, but appear to include 2 cups with 2 rings or partial rings, 2 cups with single rings, and 3 cupmarks.
