The stone measures 1.8 x 2.1 metres and sits to the west of an old lime kiln. It was first noted by amateur archaeologist Paul Brown and referenced 9 in Beckensall & Laurie’s 2008 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale’. Subsequently recorded by NADRAP in 2006 and added to ERA as ‘Loup’s Hill 1’ in 2008.
OVer the years various drawings have been undertaken using different methodologies. In 2015, this panel formed part of research on visualisation tenchniques being undertaken by Kenneth Lymer.
