A low-lying rock (3.4m N/S, 2.8m E/W ) portions only of which are exposed with an irregular shaped
uneven surface in cutaway bog, , the rock art faint and barely detectable. A portion of a line of picking is located centrally on the rock, two conjoined cup-and-ring motifs (diameters c.12cm) at the NE extent of the exposed surface. Other rock art on the exposed surface is very faint. Views are afforded from the panel to Loch Naparka to W, the mountains of the Glenbeigh Horseshoe (clockwise) from NE to NW, Dingle bay visible between the Curra Hills and Seefin to NE.
