Location Notes: Kilwhinleck 1 is one of a cluster of four carved panels (Kilwhinleck 1-4) on bedrock in a field of improved pasture NNE of Kilwhinleck Farm, which lies on the A844 road about 1km SE of Greenan Mill. There are views N to Greenan Farm and E to Craw Hill. The view S is blocked by mature woodland. The bedrock lies in low ground below the farm steading, opposite the Greenan Burn and a small water meadow.
Panel Notes: This is a medium grained schist type outcrop measuring 1.35 x 1.50m and lying flush with the ground. The surface is gently sloping to the W and is rough, with fissures/cracks, natural hollows, bedding planes and weathering channels. A deep natural groove runs from N to S. The panel displays a total of 10 cupmarks,one with a possible faint ring. There are no visible toolmarks.
