This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as having three well-defined cups and four small possible cups on a small sandstone panel, well bedded into the earth and almost level with ground surface. NADRAP notes that the adjacent rock has very impressive natural weathering patterns.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1004 Whinney Hill 2, which includes NADRAP's notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a VRML model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 278 Whinney Hill 2.
