Archaeology Notes
NR95SW 13 9410 5121
NR 9410 5121 The site forms the extreme NW point of Creag Ghlas, the rock in question being a little lower and separated from the main crag by a natural fissure, 200m above the village of Lochranza. The upper surface of the rock exhibits eight clear cup marks set in a horseshoe type arrangement with four other possibles. The cups average 50mm in diameter x 30mm deep. No other marks were found in the vicinity. From this spot good views are to be had of the Paps of Jura to the N and the main mountain mass of Arran to the S. The site was originally recorded in 1985 by the contributor and planned by Kate Knight, the record being lodged in the Isle of Arran Heritage Museum.
Report lodged with NMRS Oct. 2005. Acc. No. 2005/177.
