This panel is found c. 50m to the SSW of Laggan Hill 2 and Laggan Hill 3. Approximately 17m to the west are the remains of a small square enclosure.

A southeast sloping area of semi-exposed outcrop 1 x 0.8m in size was uncovered at the time of recording, although more outcrop could be seen beneath the turf, no more motifs were visible. This panel has been decorated with 17 cup marks. These are primarily clustered along the west side of a large fissure, except for one slightly deeper and larger cup mark which can be found on the east side of the fissure. <1>
