  • Description: Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- An amazingly well-preserved panel which has been covered by turf and heather cover and little disturbed. As an example of detailed cup and penannular design in pristine condition it is almost without peer. The stone displays a beautifully and precisely carved cup and duct motif with multiple penannulars (six) carved into softer sandstone through a thin layer of hard and flat, almost crystalline, surface material. There are also four large cups, one of which has a ring, and another is noticeably conical in formation. The incisions into the stone appear in some places to be made by a broader implement than a pecking tool. Straight edge cuts may be seen on more than one penannular. Pecking in other places, the contained cup and other penannular grooves, shows the small holes of a pointed implement. The main duct is crossed at right angles by another groove that captures between it and the main motif, a well formed and deep cup at one side of the duct and an area of possibly damaged surface with indentations, to the other. Beyond this groove and either side of the continuing duct are two large and deep cups. One has a ring and is noticeably flat bottomed but without any lip to suggest natural formation. The other is large and deep with a conical profile. Other small cups and shallow grooves are visible. Views are excellent to the east, north to Ros Castle and also south toward Ringses hill fort. An ancient field wall of large boulders passes close by and there is much evidence of a substantial cairn field, likely to have contained burial cairns.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
