In mountain heath (258m OD), on SE-facing spur of Macklaun Mountain, overlooking valley of Meelagh River to S and SE. Excellent views of surrounding landscape, particularly along valley to Caragh Lake at NE and the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks and Carrauntoohill to ENE. A smooth and fractured sandstone boulder (dims. 2.3m NNW-SSE; 1.2m ENE-WSW; H 0.66m at S) which is rectangular in plan. It has a roughly rectangular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.13m NNW-SSE; 0.06m ENE-WSW) which has an NE-facing aspect. The decorated surface bears a very clear cluster (dims. 0.13m NNW-SSE; 0.06m ENE-WSW) of approximately twenty pickmarks (average diam. 5mm; D 2-3mm) located off-centre to W of the stone’s surface. Some large linear and small solution marks are evident upon stone’s surface.
