B5. Location Notes
This record previously recorded both the Claughreid stone circle and the nearby cup and ring marked rock (Naddair's Claughreid 7). The carved panel has now been recorded separately under it's own unique record - as part of the Scotland's Rock Art project (see Claughreid 3 (ScRAP ID: 3252)) - and this record (Canmore ID: 63690) is now solely dedicated to the stone circle.
