Scope

Large slab in cluster on N edge of wide watercourse, near its mouth. Close to a modern quarry, which is encroaching on the carvings. Two sub semi-circular stone walled features, with a radius of approximately 5m and damaged by quarrying, extend from the rock engravings into the riverbed. Carvings on sloping upper surface of panel.
