The National Monuments Service's description
Outcropping in pasture, accessible via land used for grazing livestock (sheep, suckling herds of cattle, bullocks and bulls), the extent at NE (c.110m OD) c.110m from the extent at SW (c.100m OD), portions of which as well as one loose boulder are inscribed with cupmarks and cup-and-ring variations. The carvings are most readily visible at the SW extent, much of the rest of the rock art too faint to see in flat light, machine lacerations crossing the decorated surfaces along its length. This rock art was initially identified by the family of the land owner.
