The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SW slope of a ridge, above the River Avonmore with restricted views. A large granite boulder (L 1.1m; Wth 0.7m; T 0.65m) with 13 cup marks (diams. 6-7.5cm; D 1-2cm) on one face of the stone. On another face of the stone is a bullaun-like bowl (diam 11cm; D 4cm). The stone is presently sitting on its side, amongst a dump of other boulders. Described and sketched by Price in October 1931 (Corlett & Weaver 2002, Vol. 1, 120-1) with the large bowl on the top of the stone, and the cup marks were on one side indicating that it has been moved slightly.
