The National Monuments Service's description
Located 1.4m outside entrance to cashel (CO142-070001-); cup-marked stone (CO142-070005-) in interior. Flat slab (l 1.6m; Wth 1.36m; H 0.13m) supported by smaller stones. Decoration includes twenty-five cupmarks, one dumb-bell motif and two cupmarks wtih penannular circles. According to Somerville (1931, 8-9) the stone was originally face downwards and was over turned in 1869 to reveal the cup-marks.
