The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture covered with ferns, gorse and heather, overlooking Roaringwater Bay to the W. A cupmark (diam. 0.07m; D 0.025m) is visible near the centre of the NW-sloping upper surface of a moss-covered boulder (L 1.2m; Wth 0.6m; H 0.6m). A nearby oval depression (L 0.09m; Wth 0.07m; D 0.01-0.02m) appears to be a natural feature. Another cupmarked stone (CO150-074----) is c. 15m to the S.
