The National Monuments Service's description
Panel of rock art identified and described by Ken Williams as a; 'Small section of exposed outcrop or boulder (L: c.0.6m, W: c.0.4m) at ground level in improved pasture. Decoration consists of a series of cup marks with single rings, six of these are arranged in a ring with a single cup and ring in the centre, forming a ‘rosette’ motif. Alongside this and running beneath the ‘rosette’ is a curved linear groove enclosing two cup marks, a small bank of picking extends from this linear groove to join up with another cup with single ring. The stone is partially peat covered and its full dimensions are unknown, there may be additional rock art hidden beneath current ground level'.
