Location Notes: The panel is a raised domed sandstone outcrop situated immediately beside the public path running N from the Cochno Road about 200m away, at a junction in the path. The panel is on a gentle SSW facing slope in bracken and rough grazing on the edge of open deciduous woodland, and about 8m E of a wire fence into improved pasture fields. There is an electricity pylon about 200m to the S and an enclosed mobile phone mast about 100m to the E. There are views S to Law Farm and Glasgow. The panel lies 2m SW of the carved rock art Whitehill 2 (Canmore 44538, ScRAP 922) and about 50m SW of the three panels at Whitehill 3, 4 and 5 (all currently grouped under Canmore 44534, ScRAP 1750). Whitehill 6 (Canmore 44517, ScRAP 2139) lies 50m to the SW in woodland.
Panel Notes: There is a cluster of 4 cupmarks and 4 cups with single rings, 2 of which intersect, on the highest point of the panel, at its W end where the rock slopes steeply away. There are also a series of natural sub-circular features, particularly on its S edge, that could be mistaken for rock art motifs.
