The National Monuments Service's description
While inspecting the above examples of rock art in Coumduff, Mr. Adams (CKFC 1953) was brought to a 3rd stone which lay against the bank from which it had previously fallen. It was decorated with numerous cup-marks, at least two of which were enclosed by circles. This has not been located.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 180. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
