What is recorded here

In rocky mountain heath (197m OD), on a NE-facing slope, c. 23m to SSE of rock art site (KE071-NEW76). Excellent views of Behy river valley to NE with Seefin and Droum Mountains in background. A very smooth and fractured boulder (dims. 1.25m NE-SW; 0.82m NW-SE; H 0.5m at SW) which is subrectangular in plan. It has a subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.1m NE-SW; 0.8m NW-SE) with a N-facing aspect. The motifs consist of two picked cupmarks (diam. 4cm; D 2mm) of similar size and form: one in the centre and one in SE area of decorated surface. A cluster (overall dims. 4cm x 4cm) of pickmarks (range diam. 4-5mm; D 2mm) are located at E edge of decorated surface. A random scatter of pockmarks (range diam. 1-1.5cm; D 3-4mm) and pickmarks (diam. 5cm; D 2mm) across stone surface do not appear to have any discernible pattern. Hut sites abutting drystone field wall (long-axis NE-SW) are c. 8m to SW. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 24 January 2018
