The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a N-facing slope with views SE to The Paps of Dana. An earth-fast stone (L 1.55m; Wth 1.18m; H 0.48m) has incised linear markings of varying length and depth on its surface. The lines appear to be made by repeated rubbing of a sharp-edged or pointed object. A rath (KE067-048----) is c. 5m to the WNW.
