This is a very difficult panel to reach, as it lies at the foot of a steep, rocky slope with sunken streams running down it. I fell into one of them and all the time you are surrounded by the sound of running water. Be very careful if you try to see this amazing panel.
The slab bearing the carvings is 2m x 2m, but it is not covered by designs. There are 8 or so designs spread over the surface with large areas of space between them. These include several very clear cup-and-ring motifs, one of which has a long gutter extending fron its centre.
The prize motif on this panel is an example of the design that is unique to this area - a multi-pointed starburst with rings at the ends of the arms. The arms are all different lengths making the motif very attractive.
