Very Accessible from the nearby road .
Stone setting seems more appropriate than stone circle .

This marked rock was originally discovered in March but the light was poor and the pics had little detail . A clear cold day with low sun yesterday provided better conditions for pics .

Found a couple of days ago ,the rock bears at least 40 cup marks .There’s a group of eight cairns ,almost certainly not clearance , on the same terrace 60 metres to the west .

Fortunately the weather was very clear yesterday , otherwise this unrecorded marked rock may have gone unnoticed . The cups are very small ( not far from here small cups found at themodernantiquarian.com/site/1274/east_tempar.html ) and there are at least four connecting cups or dumbbells as well as the arrow shaped groove (see close up ) .Hill in the background is Schiehallion .

A recent excavation at Waulkmill produced quite a variety of finds from Neolithic to Iron Age .
Pics are of ,a ring cairn probably central to the original stone circle . Bronze Age decorated pottery (in finds tray ) .There was also a sherd of Neolithic carinated bowl . Cremated bone just outside the area of the stone circle . The reason for the standing stone pic ,from the same spot as Drewbhoys is that this one shows some of the packing i.e. a tyre . The stone had been moved from it’s previous site , which was unlikely to have the original site either .
