B5. Location Notes
The panel is located at/near the top of wide flat ridge which runs E-W. Once away from the broad top of the ridge the ground slopes more steeply to the S and overlooks the Black Water river. To the NW is the small burn Caochan Domhain beyond which the ground rises up to Carn Gorn (556m).
Remains of settlements (stone footings) are present in the forest the nearest being about 60m NNW in a clearing. A forest road is at nearest about 60m to the W. In dense forest, the panel is best located from the ruined settlement, which is visible from the forest road.
The panel is the northernmost of a group of panels in the area, surveyed by NOSAS "The Report Of a Project to Identify, Survey and Record Archaeological Remains at Rogie, Ross-shire February 2008 – May 2009". The numbering is set out on page 10.
