Date Fieldwork Started: 11/05/2017

Location Notes: The panel is located on the top of a rocky outcrop at the E end of an E-W ridge. The ground falls away sharply to the E, and a flat-surfaced slab slopes steeply to the S. The ground is relatively level to the W and N. It is surrounded by trees, some very densely planted, and some were (with permission) cut back to make it visible. There is a large oak tree immediately to the S. The panel Rogie Farm 18 is about 15m to the SW and is an extension of the flat slab sloping to the S. Rogie Farm 77 is roughly 50m away (very difficult to judge in dense forest), much lower and to the SE.
Note: There is no easy access to this panel, which is in young but almost impenetrable forest. From the S near the level crossing the ground is steep. From the N it is less steep, but further. In both cases it was necessary to cut branches from the trees to access this panel.
Panel Notes: The exposed area of rock extends for about 6m E-W and about 2.5m N-S. The E end is a low cliff, the W end is much less distinct and the rock surface disappears under vegetation. There are 8 distinct cups and 2 indistinct ones on the main rock surface. One of the cups has a faint ring. A triangular section of rock, separated by deep cracks , has two grooves and an indistinct cup. There is one further cup towards the W end of the panel. Close by that cup is an intrusion of granitic material, coarse crystals of quartz and mica being most prominent.
