The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep S facing slope overlooking the N side of the Keocha Brook, a low-level, earthfast granite boulder, only partially exposed (1.05m E-W x 0.8m N-S). The surface of the stone falls to the S, with the gradient of the slope. Scattered across the surface are 24 well-defined cup marks (diams. 5-10cm; depths 2-5cm). This stone was described briefly by Liam Price in 1933 (Corlett & Weaver 2002, 212, fig. 82).
