In improved pasture (69m OD), with occasional earthfast boulders, on a S-facing slope. Excellent views all around, especially Darrynane Bay to SW. A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 1.35m N-S; 1.90m E-W; max. H 1.02m at E) having a rectangular decorated surface (dims. 0.90m N-S; 1.10m E-W) with a SW-facing aspect and bearing weathered decorative elements covered in lichen. The motifs consist of a cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 14cm; ring Wth 2-2.5cm; D 4mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 16mm) located centrally. A second cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 12cm; ring Wth 2cm; D 4mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 12mm) is to NW side of decorated surface. Two cup-and-partial ring motifs are located along the northern margin. Five cupmarks (range diam. 3-4.5cm; D 3-7mm) are off-centre to E and W with an isolated example in the SE corner. One of these cupmarks (diam. 4cm; D 1cm) has a radial groove (L 14cm; Wth 2-3cm; D 4mm) at W. A linear groove (Wth 2-3.5cm; L 0.62m) bisects the stone (long-axis E-W); There is a gap (L 10cm) in this groove before it continues (L 0.30m) at W end. This monument was initially identified as rock art by A. Lambe (2016).
