Location Notes: This panel is located c. 200m to the NE and within sight of the steading beside the northern of the two chambered cairns at Cairnholy. Beyond, there are views to the S to the sea. To the W there is a stone wall which runs approximately NW-SE; there is a gate in this wall c. 100m distance to the NW of the panel. To the N there is another gate in a second stone wall which runs E-W. The panel is located on the W edge of the middle pile of a line of five clearance cairns, below and to the E of the stone wall.

This panel was recorded by Van Hoek in 1995 as Cairnholy 3 which he reported as missing.
