Canmore says: At least ten plain cups, twelve cup-and-ring markings and a rosette design are carved into this subrectangular sheet of bedrock exposed on a SW-facing hillside to the ENE of Balmae Gardens Cottage. The rock is separated into two panels by a strip of turf and with the exception of three cups and several gutters, all the carvings are on the W panel. The seven plain cups on the W panel range from 35mm to 50mm in diameter and are 10mm in maximum depth. Two cups measuring 50mm in diameter and 10mm in depth are set within single rings 100mm in diameter. The other ten cup-and-ring marks are pierced by gutters, the cups ranging from 50mm to 70mm in diameter by 10mm in depth and the rings from 100mm to 140mm in diameter.
