In an area of scrub enclosed by forestry plantation (281m OD), on a plateau area of a SW-facing slope. Limited views in all directions due to forestry. A laneway (long-axis NW-SE) is c. 2.2m to W, forestry is c. 6m to SW and also c. 20m N->-E->S. A series of sixteen well-preserved cupmarks are situated upon the capstone of a megalithic tomb (CO093-019----). It is a smooth and unfractured sandstone (dims. 1.63m N-S; 1.47m E-W; T 0.18m) being rectangular in plan. The decorated surface (dims. 1.0m N-S; 0.9m E-W) is subrectangular in plan and occupies the central portion of the capstone. The cupmarks have a range of sizes from the smallest (diam. 4.5cm; D 6mm) to the largest cupmark (diam. 9cm; D 30mm). The capstone has a NE-facing aspect, however, it is tending slightly to SE due to a side stone of the megalithic tomb, which has tilted inwards under the pressure of the capstone.
