The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'A few metres to the SE of DON 21 (DG004-064----) and in the same field, against the E-W wall is another, lower outcrop with at least five faint single cupmarks' (Van Hoek 1987, 34). Revisited by Van Hoek in 1988 and described as 'This outcrop, sloping 15 degrees E, proved to bear at least 21 cupmarks of different sizes and shapes; two cups each with one ring; one oval cup with an oval ring mark; and the very faint traces of a cup with three rings. All the engravings are much weathered' (Van Hoek 1988, 46).
