Two faint cup-and-ring marks located on the outcrop over the edge of a cliff, east of Castleton 7a panel.
For more information see Castleton 5 at Canmore, an extract from their 1969 entry reads: "a) a clear cup-and-four-rings and cup-and-three rings, (b) 2yds E, faint cup-and-three rings; (c) 8yds NE, faint cup-and-ring and (d) 8yds N, faint cup-and-ring."
An entry from 1986 adds: "About 8m NE of Castleton 5a is a single cup and one ring, 9cm in diameter on a very large domed outcrop sloping 20 degrees S where carved."
