The National Monuments Service's description
A large irregular split boulder with megalithic art was discovered incorporated into a souterrain (ME032-061----) where it capped the second behive chamber. The decoration consists of two groups of concentric arcs, situated below an arrangement of nested chevrons with an associated U-motif. (O'Connell 2013, 36-40, 165-8)
