B5. Location Notes
The panel lies to the S of Drumore farm buildings, to the E of the garden gate and just within (about 3m) the garden. The large stone is free standing and sits on the concrete drive beside the flower bed (gunnera and ivy) S of the stone wall enclosing the garden. It was moved to its present position from approximately NH 58293 66152 by the farmer a number of years ago. There is another large panel inside the garden and more examples around the farm. The present location is flat, but overall the surrounding ground is on a S facing slope. The panel has been recorded previously and a report lodged with Highland Council under the HER number MHG 14145.
