What is recorded here
A rock outcrop situated in swampy ground. The decoration is carved on the vertical south-east face of a section of rock (1.75m high, 1.40m wide and 0.40m thick) that has cracked away from the parent rock. It remains, undoubtedly as it always has been, in this earth fast position. The rock leans slightly to the south-east and the scribings are found on the upp two thirds area. The carvings include various intersecting radial lines and dots. Since recorded by Tempest (1939) additional markings, dates and initials have been added.
