A large boulder located near the rocky crags is decorated with a cup with multiple penannulars, as well as several plain cup-marks.
Beckensall had previously recorded the panel as having some fine cup and ring marks which have been damaged. A cup is at the centre of four concentric penannulars, leaving a gap running through the rings from the cup. There are also five other cups. Finely made.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1616 West Shaftoe 1a, which includes NADRAP's notes, Beckensall's description, photographs, a panoramic photograph, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a VRML model, a QTVR model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 688 West Shaftoe Farm 1a.
This rock art panel is located on private land.
