On its fractured, smooth surface (which slopes at aoround 13 degrees E) are the much weathered remains of a large cup and five rings, the outer ones broken off at a crack. There are also one rather large, deep cut with one ring, and at least ten other single cups (one cup not shown on plan)' (Van Hoek 1988, 46).
