Location Notes: An area of exposed bedrock located on the W side of a small knoll in rough grazing and bracken on the S facing hill slope looking out towards Lake Menteith and the Campsie Fells. The panel is about 10m E of the stone dyke at the edge of the mature pine forest and about 11m N of the modern wire fence. Nether Glenny 22 is roughly 40m to the E and Nether Glenny 24 is 2m to the S.
Panel Notes: The panel is an elongated area of bedrock flush with the ground and sloping to the W. There are several longitudinal fissures and natural circular or sub-circular hollows, and a wide turf-filled fissure running across the upper (E) part of the panel. There are at least 4 possible cups, of which only 2 are relatively convincing, as well as a curvilinear, slightly hooked groove on the upper section of the panel that has not previously been recorded.
