The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'A few metres NE of DON 10E (DG003-006005-) is the first of a series of very large sheets of outcrop rock. This has a slight scarp to the SW and scattered over its smooth surface are at least ten cupmarks. On a horizontal part of the rock, there is also a cup with two complete rings and with two short parallel grooves extending from the outer ring ( forming a sort of keyhole shape). All the carvings are very faint, and the cup with two rings has almost weathered away' (Van Hoek 1988, 46).
