This panel was recorded as part of the ScRAP (Scotland’s Rock Art project) by members of NoSAS in April 2019. This cup marked rock is situated within a replanted forested area at the top of a slope overlooking Strathconon at the junction of the Rivers Conon and Meig. There are areas of mature fir plantations to the north and northeast. The rock is located 2m southwest of the rock art panel West Comrie 5, and 30m west of West Comrie 2.

This gently sloping panel is cracked and embedded into the ground, it measures 1.3x0.8m in size and is up to 0.4m in height. It has been carved with 2 dumbell motifs, 3 large cups and 16 regular cups. Before cleaning it was partially covered by heather and had a covering of moss. <2>
