Panel 1a is adjacent to a dry stane dyke. It has a single cup with 5 rings in the W quadrant.
Canmore ID 63710 discusses the possibility of a carved double groove cartouche around the cup and ring carving. It is apparent in two images, Panel-1a 2004 taken by rockartuk, see Mossyard on BRAC.
Panel 1b, which lies immediately NE of 1a, is badly eroded, a cup with 3 surrounding rings. It also is carved in the W quadrant of the panel.
