Quite some time ago I went looking for this panel and failed to find it. The local contact I had that knew where it was had passed away, so it seemed that it was going to elude us for a while. Fortunately, a friend of a friend knew its location.
This is an extaordinary rock art panel. There is only one motif on it, but that single motif is massive. It consists of a single cup mark with 10 rings around it and two gutters. The outer ring is 60cm in diameter.
The carving is in a good state of preservation, so much so that you can see the peck marks in the rings. This is probably because the panel has been under trees for many years, possibly since it was uncovered. It was moved to its current position during the last few years when a nearby track was altered. Fortunately, the new location is also under cover, so hopefully the carvings will remain as crisp as they are.
