The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Fincharn 2 is likely prehistoric, dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, based on its classification as a cup marked rock, a common feature of ritual or ceremonial sites in ancient Scotland. The later medieval designation as a "knocking stone" suggests it may have been repurposed or associated with folklore, possibly linked to healing or supernatural beliefs.
