The National Monuments Service's description
Identified by Van Hoek in 1987 and described as 'On a horizontal part of a large outcrop forming part of a SW. facing escarpment are 17 clear cupmarks, one surrounded by a faintly pocked complete ring. On the NW part is a small cross. As this cross-mark seems to be incised it is most likely Early Christian, although it closely resembles similar crosses at Mevagh G (DON 88) which are probably prehistoric (Van Hoek and Van Hoek 1985, fig. 2)' (Van Hoek 1987, 28).
