Wester Balgair - Quern Stone Rough-outs

A newly found panel that Alision Cunningham of Wester Balgair came across when walking back to her farm after visiting our site at Ballindalloch Muir. George Currie & I later uncovered the full panel, which is in an area where there has been extensive quarrying. around the top of the rockface there are four quern stone rough-outs. These are very similar to the ones seen at the Ballindallock muir quern stone quarry some 500m away. The querns are possibly Iron Age. The curved rockface beneath the querns is where millstones have been extracted, possibly in the 17th/18th centuries. This panel was recorded and 3D modelled by Nick Parish.
