The National Monuments Service's description

Identified by Van Hoek in 1987 and described as 'Some 122m SW of the Mass Rock (DG003-005----) which is visible from the site, and just S of a fence is a small outcrop in grass, sloping 8 degrees SE from near the top of a very low knoll. On its smooth surface is (though much weathered) a cupmark with three complete rings. There might be a tail from the central cup. Some 14m to the S is a low standing stone (DG003-015001-), possibly prehistoric. ' (Van Hoek and Van Hoek 1985, fig. 3C)' (Van Hoek 1987, 28).
