Undercut outcrop on edge of steep slope with two basins (clearly of artificial origin) connected by a shallow, curved groove. A 10p coin found (and left) in the bottom of the large water-filled basin maybe indicates a local tradition. The basins may have had a prehistoric origin, but this remains uncertain. The larger of the two basins is little eroded and maybe of fairly recent origin, possibly connected with the group of ruined shielings located immediately to the east at Cragend. Its likely purpose is a mystery as the ground would appear too steep for its use as an animal drinking trough.
