The National Monuments Service's description
A prominently visible boulder (1.6m E/W x c.3m N/S, maximum height H.1.6m) close to a watercourse in boggy pasture used for sheep grazing, is inscribed with a cup-and-ring on its rugged S facing upper surface at its S extent (possible traces of a second ring and possible radial groove on this motif), a second cup-and-ring on the E facing upper surface at its N extent (diameters c.12cm). No other rock art on the largely rugged surface of this panel was confirmed on this occasion (6 May 2021), however it is highly probable that there are more carvings yet to be recorded.
