Previous Notes

NX 5185 5607 Claughreid 9 Two cup marks each enclosed by four rings; nine midget-cups enclosed together by three rings with two cups between the second and third rings; one cup end by three rings; four cups each end by two rings; 28 cups each end, by one ring; and c92 solo cups. Initially only the two 4ñringed westernmost glyphs were on the exposed rock-surface, it took a considerable amount of excavation to reveal the other 75% of the site, this proved to be very worthwhile for not only did we discover a cluster of mini-cups end, by three rings but all the glyphs to the E of this were so un-weathered as to show their original peck-markings clearly.
