Note (28 February 2019)

Date Fieldwork Started: 28/02/2019

Compiled by: Kilmartin

Location Notes: The panel is situated in newly planted (2018) fir woodland below a prominent rocky knoll facing WNW and about 35m SE of dry stone dyke, running almost due N in a shallow valley bottom. It lies about 150m NE of the track leading to Auchoish Farm. Although there is a clearing around the knoll, the panel will be in the middle of the forestry when the trees mature.

Panel Notes: This is a low-lying roughly rectangular schist outcrop, measuring about 6 x 2m, with a fractured and fissured surface. Some of the motifs are badly weathered and only visible in the 3D model. They are mainly concentrated in the central section of the panel and include 2 cups with pennanular and radial (one of these motifs has a probable second ring), 1 cup with single ring and 2 radials, 1 cup with single ring, 1 cup with single ring and radial, 1 or 2 cups with radials, 18 single cups (although some of these may have eroded rings or partial rings), and a long, curving groove that partly encircles several cups.
