This cupmarked stone was originally located in the ground beside a small house on the E bank of the estuary of Roaringwater River. According to local information, the stone (0.2m x 0.2m x 0.1m) had a cupmark (diam. c. 0.08m) on one side and a double cupmark (diams.: c. 0.05m and c. 0.03m), arranged in a dumb-bell fashion, on the other side. The present location of this cupmarked stone is unknown.
