Like the huge bullaun stone at the foot of the hill, this decorated panel somehow failed to be included in the Wicklow Archaeological Inventory. It was first recorded by Liam Price in the 1940s.

This slab is partially covered by grass, but enough of it is exposed to see the many cup-marks. Only one cup, the largest, at the eastern end of the panel might (just might) have a ring around it. The exposed area is a little over 1m E-W and 80cm N-S. There are at least 20 cup-marks showing. What a lovely stone!
