Situated 250m W of Whitehill farm, 200m (220 yds) W of the road's corner, below the steep artificial bank but above a rock escarpment, is one of a number of flat smooth gritstone outcrops, 1 3/4m by 1m (6ft x 2 3/4ft) horizontal at ground level. On it are: a cup-and-two-ungapped-rings with a radial groove from the cup, and a second one from the inner ring, the grooves being deeper than the r ings, giving a 'gapped' effect. Diameter 23cm (9ins). There is also a cup. Greatest carving depth 1cm (1/2ins). It is believed that, in making a football pitch in 1980, this carving has been covered over.
