Whenever you look for rock art you never know what you're going to find. Often you never know if you are going to find anything at all. I was reassured that the stone stil existed when I asked a local lady for directions and she pointed me in the direction of the stone.
When I first saw it I dismissed it, because it's a low, rough stone from the direction you first see it from. However, the west face, although not very big, is almost vertical and has two panels. One of the panels has a singlle cup-and-ring motif that has two rings and a faint gutter. The larger cared surface is very different. It has three cup-and-rings, all with two rings. It also has a complex series of interlinking lines that form a network of connecting boxes. Although covered in lichen, you can even make out some of the peccking marks in the lines.
I've never seen anything like this before and it's wonderful.
