Rock Art in Isle of Tiree

About half a mile south-west of the village of Kenovay at the north side of the island, some rocky outcrops just a little south of the farm and lane. On two of the surfaces are prehistoric cup-marks, dating from the Neolithic period. One rock surface has eight cups, while the other rock surface 10 metres away, has six cups.

I searched the site indicated on 29th August. There are many exposed rock faces over a 10m x 10m area however I was unable to find any Cup Markings.
