The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'In a dip between the standing stones (DG003-019----) and (DG003-020----) is a largely overgrown, smooth outcrop, sloping 12 degrees SE. On this are some eight large, crudely carved single cups; two possible single grooves; one cup with traces of two rings; and a large, weathered cup with five rings which are not perfectly circular. The rather large central cup has a tail. There are also 32 midget cups, mainly concentrated NE of the cup with five rings. This rock have been covered up by the author with turf' (Van Hoek 1988, 46)
