The National Monuments Service's description
Set on a concrete plinth and partly incorporated into a field wall flanking the N side of a road.
A boulder (c. 1.7m E−W; c. 1m N−S to wall; H c. 0.4m) with three roughly circular, bowl-shaped hollows in its upper surface. The hollows are in a close-set row and fill most of the available space on the stone’s surface. The central hollow (diam. 0.4m; D 0.15m) is the largest; the two flanking hollows (0.3m x 0.35m; D 0.10-0.11m) are slightly shallower and more oval in shape.
