Location Notes: The panel is located in an flat to undulating area of rough grazing and marsh. It lies beside a track and the route of an old hedgeline leading to the abandoned steadings of Craigberoch Farm, about 17m SE of a concrete silage pit. There is a clear view to the S of Barone Hill and Fort. Note (Feb 2021): there are plans to demolish or redevelop the steadings at Craigberoch, so some aspects of this location may change.
Panel Notes: This is a hard, coarse grained schist type slab with a flat surface measuring 2.5 x 1.3m and 0.4m maximum height. There are at least 10 very weathered cupmarks as well as one cupmark with a groove, which may be natural or a later addition. One cup has a possible partial ring. The panel has numerous grooves (possibly from ploughing) on its E edge as well as a fissure on the surface running from NW to SE. Random peck marks are also visible on the surface.
