Location Notes: This panel was discovered . It has been moved from this context and was, at time of recording, propped against the E conservatory wall on the E side of the new building of the Cairnholy Steading, near Cairnholy 2 chambered cairn. The panel was at one stage built into a dry stone wall, and was discovered during work on an existing building at this location when the present owners dismantled it in 2006 to re-build and improve the house. For a while it was loose in the rubble, where Brian Kerr photographed it for The Modern Antiquarian in 2008 which they labelled as Cairnholy 11 (here recorded as Cairnholy 10). It is believed he took the stone to a Scottish Heritage organisation for recording, later returned, where it is now situated propped against the wall of the new building.
Panel Notes: A long, thin panel measuring 0.7m by 0.3m in size. It has been carved with 2 cup and ring motifs; one with 3 rings, one with 4 rings. The panel, leaning against the conservatory wall, was discovered in a barn wall which was demolished to make way for the present house - Cairnholy Steading. The owners reported to the recorder that the panel was previously taken away and recorded by a Scottish heritage body.
