Visit Notes

Sunday, 18th November 2007

I have looked for this panel many times. I have always concentrated on looking at all the small rocks that are scattered around the slopes here. For some reason I never thought to look at the top of the largest outcrop of them all. I honestly don't think that I would have spotted the designs on the one visit here because of the fog. Luckily Ken stumbled across it one day when he sat here to take a break.

Most of the markings are cupmarks that are scattered across the upper surface. There is one clear cup with a single ring at the north end of the panel and two faint cup-and-ring motifs towards the south. The surface around the simple cupmarks appears to have been pecked all over.

At the north end a group of cups seem to form a pseudo rosette pattern, but it's hard to be sure.
