B5. Location Notes
The rock art panel is on a small outcrop in open heather and grassy moorland on a hillside terrace at about 210m above sea level, above and to the W of Loch Brora. The outcrop is about 130m NE of a ruined broch (MGH 10805 broch Killin) and 50m SW of a 19th century sheep fank. A small group of visible outcrops are scattered across an undulating area of moorland with this carved outcrop lying on a very slight rise. A small standing stone (MHG39347) lies about 5om to the NW. Three brochs and a crannog in Loch Brora can be seen from the outcrop. There are also a number of cairns on the lower ground and many hut circles in the area.
Previous Notes
On the close up photo, there are three visible - at the corner of the notebook, at the tip of the pencil and at the tip of the tape, although there are two others not in the picture. They are carved on the flattish exposed upper surface of an approximately 3m diameter sandstone erratic and are approx 5cm across and 1.5cm deep. The erratic is only around 120m NE of the broch and due S of the sheepfold.
