Location Notes: This panel was possibly located during survey in late June 2019, however, the stone in question has fallen over onto the outer edge of the dun-like structure with the surface believed to be carved facing downwards. It was possible to feel the underside of the stone, and by touch it was considered possible that there were motifs, but without visual confirmation it was not possible to conclude if this was the correct stone.
