The National Monuments Service's description
According to Kinahan (1879-88, 157) there was a large flat rock with seven cup-marks on its surface just S of three hut-sites (WX002-040----) on the S-facing slope of Connagh Hill, at a location indicated on a field map of the Geological Survey of Ireland. The area is now forested and there is no indication of either the hut-sites or the rock art.
