Full Description

This panel was recorded as part of the ScRAP (Scotland’s Rock Art project) by members of NoSAS in November 2019. The panel has been moved from its original location and is part of a collection held by the owner in his garden. When it was found it was being used as a drain cover.

This is an irregular shaped slightly domed rectangular schist boulder measuring 0.9 x 0.75m and maximum 0.1m high. The top of the boulder has an undulating, rough surface. There are 10, possibly 11 simple cupmarks, 3 oval or courgette motifs, a conjoined pair of cups, and 3 conjoined cups, scattered across the top of the boulder. There are also 3 grooves, 2 connecting to a single cupmark and 1 connecting another single cupmark but continuing over the curve of the stone and through a courgette motif. One of the cupmarks may join to one of the courgette motifs or it may underlie it. <1>
