Location Notes: The panel is situated in rough grazing on the S facing side of Corlick Hill, overlooking the Gryfe Reservoir with open views. It lies 90m WSW of an old stone farmstead covered in bracken and 70m SW of a field boundary running NW-SE.
Panel Notes: This is a small rock shaped like a seat, measuring 1.3 x 0.8m and orientated S. It is a maximum of 0.6m above the present ground level. The sides are straight and regular, and may have been quarried. There is one cup measuring 7cm in diameter on the upper, possibly quarried, surface of the rock, near where it meets the vertical face. It is highly likely that this is a later addition, and is possibly associated with the nearby farmstead.
