This significant prehistoric rock art panel is located on the northern slope of Newlaw Hill. It was located in 1895, most of its surface is exposed. The motifs include cup-and-ring marks and cup-marks, among them cup with five rings.The panel is fenced around which makes it fairly easy to find it.
For more information see Canmore ID 64439 which adds: "are carved on the sloping face of a smooth rock outcrop, c. 200 yds S of the by-road opposite the entrance to Auchengool house, exactly on line between Auchengool farm and the OS triangulation point."
