Large, dome-shaped rock outcrop, on which there are at least ten different cup and ring motifs. These consist of two four-ringed, a two-ringed and six single-ringed motifs. One of the four-ringed motifs has at its centre several small cup marks, as in the sites at Carrickrobin (LH006-033002-) and Ballinloughan Rock 4 (LH006-119----). On a nearby extension of the same outcrop is a chequered pattern which can be paralleled at High Banks, Galloway (Morris 1979,112-13), and Lordenshaws, Northumberland (Hadingham 1974, 54-9). There is also at least one single cup and ring motif on this outcrop extension. (CLAJ 1981, 110)
