In bright sunlight this is a very hard panel to spot. I actually walked across it several times trying to find it! It's a pretty panel with a cluster of three cup-and-ring motifs and a fourth cup-and-ring set slightly below the group.

Unlike the other panels, this one is carved on a bulbous rocky outcrop, the top of which is peat covered. As with the other panels around here, these carvings are orientated towards the mountain pass to the east. Although a large uncarved area of stone is exposed, one has to ask what else could possibly lie beneath the peat.
