C5. Panel Notes

This is an irregular shaped slightly domed rectangular schist boulder measuring 0.9 x 0.75m and maximum 0.1m high. The top of the boulder has an undulating, rough surface. There are 10, possibly 11 simple cupmarks, 3 oval or courgette motifs, a conjoined pair of cups, and 3 conjoined cups, scattered across the top of the boulder. There are also 3 grooves, 2 connecting to a single cupmark and 1 connecting another single cupmark but continuing over the curve of the stone and through a courgette motif. One of the cupmarks may join to one of the courgette motifs or it may underlie it.
