This large, almost square stone block has series of basins on its surface, but they might be result of weathering. Apart from that 2 undisputable cup-marks are preserved on the surface of the rock. Beckensall had previously described the panel as having five cups and three basins, one of which has a groove.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1323 West Lordenshaw (Birky Hill) 1b, which includes NADRAP's notes, Beckensall's description and archive notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 532 West Lordenshaw (Birky Hill) 1b.
This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
