In mountain heath (97m OD), on a W-facing slope, overlooking Lough Adoon to E. Good views of Brandon Mountain range to NW. A slightly rough and unfractured, earthfast sandstone (dims. 1.10m E-W; 0.55m N-S) which has an overhang that protrudes outwards from the hillslope; flakey surface to W side. The decorated surface (dims. 0.25m E-W; 0.15m N-S) is SSE-facing and bears two very faint, yet traceable cup-and-ring motifs which are conjoined. Cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 12cm; ring Wth 2.5-3cm; D 2-3mm; cup diam. 3.5cm; D 3mm) at W, is the best defined. The second cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 13cm x 10cm; ring Wth 2cm; D 2-3mm) at E has a very faint cupmark. Initially identified by Micheal Ó Coileáin, Heritage Officer, Kerry County Council in his unpublished MA thesis (2006).
