The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'Some 7m SSE of DON 13 (DG004-060001-) is another flat outcrop, possibly a continuation of the main one. This has at least six cupmarks, plus one possible example. Four of the cupmarks are of the disc type. One has a groove running to the SE parallel to two shorter single grooves. Another disc-cup has a semi-rectangular groove enclosing a smaller normal cupmark. The carved surface slopes 12 degrees to the S' (Fig. 6C) (Van Hoek 1987, 30-3).
