Kilbride 5 is located at NR 85225:96446 , on a mound shaped outcrop that gently slopes by 15 degrees on it’s North-West side and by 10 degrees on it’s Southern side. The panel is within a rough grazing field approx. 15m East of the gate, 200m South-East of Kilbride Farm Cottage and 10m South-West of the farm track. The panel is also approximately 100m West of a burn lined with trees and is 50m West of the power lines. From the panel there are extensive views of Kilbride and Rundle Glen in all directions. On its longest axis the panel is 6.1m with a width of 3.2m and has a maximum height of 0.45m. The panel is hard schist with a rough texture and has noticeable quartz veins and large fissures, some of which contain small deposits of quartz. In terms of motifs, there are twelve cup marks and two cup and ring marks. There is also some evidence of peck marks within the cupmarks. However turf will need to be removed to view the entirety of the motifs.
