Location Notes: The panel Kilbride 1 is the S section of a long outcrop of rock, along which there are three panels (Kilbride 1, Kilbride 2 and Kilbride 3). The outcrop is located within the garden ground of Kilbride Farm, and runs broadly SW-NE in an area on the SE side of the garden, immediately beside and parallel to the partially collapsed boundary wall and a line of trees between the garden and the neighbouring field. The outcrop is contained within a moss-covered, low-lying stone wall which has been used to define that area of the garden ground. A number of garden shrubs and trees have been planted within this area, some of which are located close to or overhanging the outcrop.
Kilbride 1, the largest area uncovered, is at the S end of the outcrop, situated between the line of trees and the collapsing boundary wall, to the SE, and a low but large shrub to the NW. The N end of the panel is largely covered by a cotoneaster plant which has been planted towards the centre of the W side of the outcrop.
The outcrop is about 25m to the SE of another panel on an outcrop within the same garden ground (Kilbride 4; Canmore 39434).
Panel Notes: This panel is roughly 't'-shaped and measures 5.3 m in length. Its widest part is at the N end where it extends for 5.3 m across the full width of the outcrop. The majority of the panel is situated on the gently sloping SE side of the outcrop, but a smaller area also extends down a steeper slope on the NW side. A total of 18 cupmarks (three of which are possible) are spread across the surface, appearing only on the SE side; although there are plenty of suitable surfaces on the steeper W side, there are no carvings here. Interestingly, the majority of cupmarks are positioned on the flattest sections of the SE side. A cluster of deep cupmarks are placed on a flat section at the top of the outcrop. A second group are found in the mid section and three (possibly four) are found scattered along the lower section.
