The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Van Hoek as 'In the same field as DON 35 (DG004-071003-) but much lower down the hill-slope runs a faint ridge, roughly stretching from ESE to WNW across the field. It has a number of outcrops and this smooth sheet near its E end has at least eight cupmarks. Three show traces of parts of one ring, some faintly associated with grooves. Near the N end is a cup with two complete but rather weathered rings. The rock slopes from 9 degrees to 11 degrees to the SW' (fig. 12C) (Van Hoek 1987, 41).
