Full Description
Between May and August 2012, a survey was undertaken by the North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NoSAS) to identify, survey, and record the archaeological remains at Achadh Mor, Loch Garve.
Site 2; Cup marked stone. This cup marked stone is 30m to the north of hut circle (see MHG62448). It is a deeply embedded mica schist boulder with a flattish upper surface of 1.5m x 1.1m on which there are 4 small much eroded cups c50mm diam x 10mm deep. The cups are carved on the tilted end grain of the natural layers forming the rock, erosion has left the cups with a rough appearance today. <1>
