with an outer segmental groove, containing
in the interior two cups neither of which occupies
the centre, from which run short straight
channels one of which opens on the inner
circle. [inserted text] see also Antiq. [Antiquaries (of Scotland)] IX p. [page] 157. The group at the E [East] end of the
rock, some 30' distant, discloses the same
combined cups and grooves. In the central
design, is a central ringed cup
with a connected groove and
two outer cups which an outer circle
curves eccentrically to enclose. (Mr. Coles's
drawing of this figure is not complete and
it may be corrected from my rubbing.
Somewhere to the E. [East] of the last Mr. Coles notes
two overlapping rings . The rock surface on
which they occur is "much split up by sharp,
deep fissures and its general direction is S W. [South West] (fig [figure] 4)
To the Westward of the above group and
some "300 yds. [yards] SE. [South East] of Balmae House" on a
smooth rock sloping "to the W. [West] at an angle
of 40°. are two sets of concentric rings, one
with five rings surrounding a central cup
and the other with four rings enclosing
a plain centre ( fig. [figure] 6 )
"A rock immediately below, also having a
like inclination to the W. [West] bears a group of
five concentric rings, the outer one being 18"
