Two examples of uncommonly wide rings ( 20 mm ). Two very rough cups , possibly rejected , at bottom left .
Found just over eight years ago grid ref approx , grooves 10cms long x 4mm deep .
Found about six yeras ago , didn’t take grid ref so only approximate
The rock art is a new find from a couple of weeks ago The stone setting , possibly remains of a hut circle or ring cairn , would have been noted by whoever cleared the heather from either side of the new track allowing access to the new Denny -Beauly super pylons . A good practice not always followed elsewhere .
Recent excavation has discovered that what was originally considered to have been a hut circle or roundhouse is at least a ring cairn , but a gap in the bank/platform is the right size and orientation for a recumbent , complete with sockets either side of the gap suggestive of a setting for flankers .
One of three previously unrecorded marked rocks found yesterday . Light not ideal but you get a rough idea.I’m sure that the stone is not in situ and has been dumped here , probably from a fairly recent development at the bottom of the hill .
Three previously unrecorded panels found yesterday ,all under heather . I’ve included a “before” pic of the largest , prior to heather removal .
A hut circle and two of the previously recorded marked rocks around the loch .
