B5. Location Notes
The two panels were looked for but not located in the field. The immediate shoreline is densely covered in slippery seaweed. A local resident, an archaeologist, provided information that the panels had not been located despite many attempts to locate them over the last few years. He also stated that there are photographs of the panels in the local museum at Breaclete, but the museum was closed at the time of visit.

On the shore 40m and 50m NNW of Dun Barraglom (NB13SE 5), on sloping rock faces just below high water mark, are two groups of cupmarks. The S group has 37 cups up to 9cm diameter and 2cm deep. The N group has 35 cups up to 9.5cm diameter and 2.5cm deep, also a shallow cupped feature closely resembling a Pictish mirror symbol 27cm long.
