This monument was initially identified as rock art by Aoibheann Lambe in 2014. In an area of cutaway bog and mountain heath, on a gentle NE-facing slope (176m OD), overlooking Behy River valley to NE and overlooked by mountains SE->W->NE. Turf banks located to S, W and N, a disused turf bank is c. 3.5m to NW and a bog trackway is c. 17m to NNW. A slightly rough and fractured, sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 2.20m NE-SW; 2.35m NW-SE; max. H 0.20m), having a flat decorated surface (dims. 0.50m NE-SW; 0.40m NW-SE). Irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.50m NE-SW; 0.40m NW-SE) which is generally flat. Rock art is very weathered and faint consisting of a sub-oval ring of pickmarks (dims. 0.48m E-W; 0.34m N-S) off-centre to W. This ring (Wth 2-3cm) of pickmarks (diam. 7-9mm; D 3mm) narrows to E-side (dims. 0.2m N-S) and a single pickmark is located within the interior, off-centre to W. Natural fracture (long axis c. E-W) is located centrally across the stone surface, to N.
