About half way along the north side of Loch Gleann a' Bhearraidh there is a granite boulder (1) 2.1 by 1.8m and 0.6m high. Lying in the water just offshore, it is normally visible but on occasions is submerged. On its level upper surface there are twelve plain cups measuring up to 80mm in diameter and 20mm in depth.
About 38m to the NW of (1) just outside the reservoir boundary fence is a small stone (2) 1.2 by 1.2m and 0.6m high. On its top is a single cup mark 50mm in diameter and 25mm deep.
