C5. Panel Notes
This is a N facing outcrop of sandstone on which there are many indistinct carvings, of letters and possibly dates or initials, in several places on the rock. There are a number of natural-looking holes in the surface of the soft sandstone, some about the size of cup marks, but none which could convincingly be characterised as prehistoric rock art.
