The National Monuments Service's description
Identified by M. A. M. Van Hoek in 1987 and described by him as 'This rock outcrop forms the E part of the main ridge in this field. It has been previously described by the author and on this occasion two more single cups were noted bringing the total of single cups to 28. The four cups to the W are only faintly pocked and may not have been completed. The rock is horizontal but its W end slopes 3 degrees ESE. Six small cups appear to form a domino pattern (Fig. 5B) (Van Hoek and Van Hoek 1985, fig. 4)' (Van Hoek 1987, 28).
