The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'A few metres SW is another large and rough outcrop surface sloping some 10 degrees to the S. The W part, which is usually covered, has 11 cupmarks. One has a curved tail and nearby is a cup with three rings. Its inner ring is not concentric and is gapped. The second ring is complete and the outer one is incomplete. From the central cup runs a straight tail to the S, and from the outer ring runs a groove to the W which curves sharply back again. The E part has 12 cups. One has a complete ring. South of this is a cup with an incomplete or gapped ring and traces of a second one. Another large cup has parts of three rings and three grooves. On a lower level is another large cupmark with one gapped ring and a short curved tail from the central cup' (Donegal Archaeolgical Survey No. 657;59) (Fig. 11C)' (Van Hoek 1987, 39)
