Situated on rough grazing near a disused quarry with views of the Knockbrack Hills to the N and NE and Trawbreaga Bay to the W. A quartzite boulder (1.7m x 1.2m x 0.27m) which has a cup mark enclosed by ten concentric circles, through which two grooves radiate out from the cup-mark at an angle of approximately 160 degrees. The outer circle measures 0.83m in diameter (Crumlish 1991, 171). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 31 May 2010

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cup mark and concentric circles may have held ritual or astronomical significance, possibly linked to water or fertility symbolism common in prehistoric rock art.
