Full Description
RCAHMS Canmore description:
The site comprises one main boulder panel and six “satellites” (NOSAS Site Survey Nos 056 A - G). The principal site lies on a natural terraceat an altitude of 180m, about 1.5kms N of Little Scatwell with an open aspect S overlooking Strathconon. The present day land surface is characterised by clear felling amid commercial forestry although there is evidence of formerly improved land in the vicinity with a number of large enclosures and a complex field system to the SE as well as a number of cairns which may not just relate to clearance.
056E at NH 39281 5474. A large earth fast boulder measuring 2.6m NE x SW x 1m wide and 1m high on the down slope side with one definite slightly oval cup and 2 possible smaller cups visible.
