Description
Much of this outcrop of carvings was only exposed in 1974 so the carvings are relatively unweathered. It includes the usual hollows or cups surrounded by rings but also a rosette motif - a large cup surrounded by smaller cups.
This wide shot shows the lower slab looking NW towards Loch Craignish through the modern conifer plantation. Before the trees were planted this site would have had a commanding view. The area without the lichen is the recently exposed area, which contains the least weathered of the carvings.
Access / Ownership
Free access via forest track leading from Kilmartin Village.
