The National Monuments Service's description
In rocky upland pasture, the smooth but weathered upper surface of a low-lying sub-triangular earthfast boulder (having an area of approximately 3m sq) is inscribed with faintly visible rock art motifs which include two variants on the cup-and-ring motif, an oval shaped depression as well as picked lines. Low drystone walls and a cluster of ten+ closely-set hut sites in various stages of collapse and having a variety of morphologies are found in the vicinity of the decorated panel.
