This panel is massive! It is 6m x 1.5m and rises in height along its length. There is a step about halfway along the stone and both levels have carvings on them.

The upper level has two very large cup-and-ring motifs, a cup-and-ring design with a long gutter and a cluster of cups. The lower level has several cup-and-ring motifs.

Considering the size of the panel there is surprisingly few designs on it. When I first saw it as I approached I was expecting to see more motifs, but the size of the ones on the upper level and the quality of all the motifs more than makes up for the lack of quantity.
