This is possibly a new un-recorded or reported site, Avril Purcell described four panels in the townland, each on ‘unobtrusive’ flat, low lying boulders, these markings are in a large heavy boulder over 1.5m high and 2m broad. Two faces were found to have been carved, the top has weathered basins with rings and what look like cup and ring remains, the opposing face has two cup and rings very closely spaced.
