B5. Location Notes

The grid reference for this panel is situated on wasteland close to the base of a pylon on the S facing gently slope of a hill. There are large amounts of broken glass in the area, and little in the way of rock outcrops or boulders. It is possible that changes in landuse since the record was made have obscured the rock, or that the cupmark is a natural feature.
