The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland grazing, on a SE-facing slope on the SE foothills of Miskish Mountain. At least eight cupmarks (av. diam. 0.05m x D c. 0.03m) are visible on the smooth upper surface of a natural rock (1.3m NW-SE x 1m NE-SW). The rock, which slopes downwards to the NE, is set at the base of the NE side of a field boundary. There is a standing stone pair (CO115-116----) on the SW side of this field boundary.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
