Location Notes: The panel is within the Castlelaw souterrain, which lies on a roughly N-S axis on the eastern edge of the hillside about 110m from the Castlelaw car park. The souterrain was originally part of a roundhouse that lies within one of the ditches surrounding the Castlelaw hillfort, near its main entrance. The stone has been built into the E drystone wall of the souterrain, and lies 1.7m from the terminal (S) end of the main passage, within the top layer of drystone walling 1.4m above what is now ground level. A side cell is located 12.5m to the N on the W side of the passage, and around 23m away from the souterrain entrance.
Panel Notes: This roughly rectangular sandstone boulder measures about 0.4 x 0.3m and 0,2m thick. There are 5 cupmarks positioned on the top of the stone on its convex surface and a further cupmark lower down the stone.
