Almost the entire surface of this panel is covered in cup marks, although a significant number of the smaller, less evenly formed marks may be due to natural erosion. The cups were probably pecked with a hard tool (probably stone or antler), and they are consistent with the type of 'rock art' termed Galician art, found across the UK and into France and Iberia
