Location Notes: The panel is located in forestry 20m S of the fire trail next to fallen tree roots. To the S the ground falls sharply away to boggy ground before rising to again to the main carved outcrops at Achnabreck 1 and 2 (Canmore 39552, ScRAP 2762) enclosed by Historic Environment Scotland railings.

On another corner there is a cup with 6 rings and a radial, with cupmarks enclosed within concentric rings. Other motifs include 1 cup with 2 rings, 1 cup with a single ring, 1 cup with single ring and radial, 1 cup with single ring, radial and partial second ring, 1 cup with single ring, keyhole radial and partial second ring, 3 cups with partial rings, 4 cups with radials, 4 single cups, 4 cups within a square groove, and a series of short parallel grooves.
