Sandstone boulder, c. 0.5m high, with a largely level upper surface, squarish in plan with sides
of c. 2m, is located in rough pasture on sloping ground at c. 150m OD just S of a 700m long
ENE/WSW running field boundary. Towards the NE corner of the upper surface, lines of
possible pickmarks run adjacent to three natural looking hollows, more hemispherical
depressions visible on the rest of the surface, two or more of which appear to be cupmarks
(diam.s 0.04–0.07m, D. 7–10mm), one of which has at least 6 pickmarks along its rim. At the SE
end of the boulder, are two inscriptions, one deeply carved and carefully executed, the other
shallowly incised, both of which read ‘money’. According to the landowner, the boulder was used
as a mass rock in penal times. Kenmare Bay is visible to SE. The boulder is 700m SW of the rock
art at Rossacoosane.
