This huge panel took a while to find, because the carvings on it are very, very eroded. It lies against a bank that marks the edge of two fields as if it was tipped there from the upper field. Reaching it involves clambering through trees and gorse bushes.

Among the designs is one very rare motif that is specific to this area - a sort of cross with cup-and-ring designs at the end of the arms.

Due to the poor condition of the carvings and the pouring rain my pictures of this stone are exceedingly poor.
