The National Monuments Service's description
The upper surface of this largely smooth-faced sandstone boulder slopes upwards to W and is rectangular in plan, measuring approx. 1.3m x 1m. It is inscribed with very faint, barely discernible motifs which include a number of grooves, an annual ring partially enclosed by an outer ring and a possible cupmark on an area of spall.
