The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, with occasional outcropping rock, on cutaway bog, on a SW-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO104-021003-). This cupmarked stone was described in August 1997 as a large flat-topped natural boulder which has a group of ten possible cupmarks near the centre of its upper surface. A subsequent search for this possible cupmarked stone in January 2005 failed to locate it at this location or in the surrounding area.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
