This is a new panel discovered by myself today. It is not as nice or elaborate as the main panel (see parent site). There is just two cupmarks with single rings and a few solo cupmarks.
The stone is easy to find as it's the largest outcrop on the slope. The two cup-and-ring motifs are carved on the highest part of the stone along with one or two cup marks. There are several other cupmarks on the north facing slope, but the rest of this enormous stone appears to be undecorated. Unfortunately, the markings are so faint that it was impossible to get a good photograph of them - Ken tried for ages, but couldn't bring them out.
This is now Leinster's highest rock art panel, but I suspect that there is much more on these slopes.

The bright sun today foiled most of my attempts to get better images of the carvings I discovered here. I did manage to get some of them and could see that there are two or more single ring cup-and-ring motifs on the north-facing slope of the rock, but these didn't really come out in the photos.
