The National Monuments Service's description
On high knoll in pasture. Lightly incised carvings on rock outcrop on two adjacent E-facing slabs. S group consists of a line of three incised T's or Tau crosses, enclosed by incised rectangles with peaked tops, gable shaped. These measure left-right H 0.15m; 0.08m: H 0.07m; 0.05m: H 0.12m; 0.06m. N group consists of two further gable shapes, one enclosing an outline Latin cross in false relief with splayed base (H 0.23m; 0.12m); other (H 0.03m; 0.03m) the suggestion of a Tau cross. Probably of recent date. Local tradition of "church" here.
