This rock art panel contains 14 cups, grooves and depressions, created making use of natural features. Seven of the cups are clustered in the centre of the panel. One of the cups has been placed on a slightly mounded dome. Two of the 14 cups are linked by a short groove forming a dumbbell. For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-2555 Cranshaw Thorn Hill 05, which includes a description, photographs, a plan of the stone and its motifs, plus photogrammetry.
This rock is also recorded as part of a group of four Bronze Age cup and ring marked stones and a possible prehistoric enclosure - see Pastscape Monument No. 1031136, which gives slightly different dimensions to the rock from the ERA entry, but the carving description is the same.
This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
