Location Notes: The panel could not be located. The location described by Van Hoek is 15m E of Kilmichael Glassary 3 on an outcrop of rock; however, no outcrop could be found. That location is in use as a modern scrap pile under which is a thickly moss-covered field wall. The surrounding area was searched by nothing matching the description could be identified.

Panel Notes: Panel not found.
