Over Glenny 9, Port of Menteith

Mr George Currie's recent discovery has unveiled an intriguing panel with uncommon themes. The surface of a north-east facing outcropping near Over Glenny's abandoned farmstead showcases these carvings, which gently slope upwards. A smaller, upper panel boasts at least four cup-marks, one of which is surrounded by a double ring. In contrast, the lower panel features up to 16 motifs, including: a single cup-mark with two rings, where the outer ring touches the outer ring of another cup and ring design; three double cup and ring patterns grouped together in a cluster, with one complete and the others partially cut off by each other and the first; four cup-marks situated at the corners of a diamond shape; three cup-marks enclosed within a large sub-circular groove, and several potential lone cup-marks. The motifs appear to respect and follow the natural contours of the outcropping.
