The National Monuments Service's description
A granite boulder (1.2m x 1m) with some large quartz inclusions. At least 24 small, closely spaced cup marks (diam. c. 4cm-5cm; D 1cm) and a number of small pits are scattered across the surface of the rounded stone. The exact original location of this site is not known although it is believed to have been found somewhere close to the rock art site c. 100m to the N (WI017-002----).
