Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art
|
|
Found and photographed on the 14 Oct 2010 an eight foot slab 80yards uphill towards the ridge from the main carvings. It is in dense forestry and has a lot of earth, peat and a tree growing on it. It projects out into the drainage ditch between the rows of plantation trees. It took me an afternoon of pacing and searching in the fairly impenetrable forestry plantation, but this slab is where the missing slab was said to be. I didn't have a spade or axe.
From Canmore
"Somerville notes an 8ft long piece of rock projecting from the turf, some 80 yds from NS03NW 7, nearer the summit of the ridge. It is sculptured with five cups with channels radiating from them, and the remains of circles. It was not found in 1965, possibly buried by bulldozers in conifer drainage.
J E Somerville 1901; R W B Morris and D C Bailey 1967.
This alleged cup and ring marked rock could not be located in dense afforestation.
Visited by OS (T R G) 31 October 1977."
