75m OD. On the rough surface of the lower conglomerate boulder are aboput ten cups, some possibly natural. On the larger boulder is one possible cup.
M van Hoek 1989.
A group of boulders situated prominantly to the S of Ballochraggan Cottage (NN50SE 11). The possible cup-mark on the largest boulder is probably a solution hollow, whilst those on the lower rock were difficult to see on the date of visit.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, DRE) 15 May 1995.
