B5. Location Notes
A thorough search was made of the area within 40m of the grid reference, but no trace was found of the cup and ring marked rock described by Morris. There are almost no boulders or rock outcrops in this area today. Local residents note that the area has been leveled in the past, making it likely that the carved rock has been covered.

Situated 250m W of Whitehill farm, 200m (220 yds) W of the road's corner, below the steep artificial bank but above a rock escarpment, is one of a number of flat smooth gritstone outcrops, 1 3/4m by 1m (6ft x 2 3/4ft) horizontal at ground level. On it are: a cup-and-two-ungapped-rings with a radial groove from the cup, and a second one from the inner ring, the grooves being deeper than the r ings, giving a 'gapped' effect. Diameter 23cm (9ins). There is also a cup. Greatest carving depth 1cm (1/2ins). It is believed that, in making a football pitch in 1980, this carving has been covered over.
