After being taken to the location of this panel by a lad from the farm I was very disappointed. There are two huge outcrops, one either side of a track, that have zillions of what look like natural cup marks. The outcrop to the east of the track is huge and after scouring it for 15 minutes without luck I moved on to the other one.
After another 10 minutes I was about to give up when I saw the faintest of rings around a cup mark. Then, after pouring water over the slab, more motifs became visible ... just. This panel really is badly eroded. I managed to pick out a cup with three rings and three cups with two rings. These lie to one side of a large fisure that runs across the panel. A little later I noticed another cup with two rings on the other side of the crack.
To make it easy for people to locate the carved panel - it is below the second fence post from the track.
