In rough, mountain pasture, on a N-facing slope of a rocky knoll (166m OD), with good views of Ballaghbeama Gap to N. A locus of inspection was carried out twice, yet this monument was not located. Diagram in SMR file appears to be incorrect and should be in file for another rock art site (KE082-079----). Described by Purcell (1993), as a boulder (max. dims. 1.4m x 1.0m) having a steeply sloping upper surface. The motifs are well-preserved and confined to the W-side, comprising of twelve cupmarks and an area of pocking (ibid; O’ Sullivan & Sheehan (1996, 88; Entry 291). A drystone field boundary is c. 12-14m to E.
