A few metres from the large cross is a low, earthfast boulder about 1.5m x 1m. In its upper surface there is a very shallow bullaun that is no more than 15cm across.

The far more interesting feature on this boulder is a carved cross. It isn't very ornately designed, but a lot of effort went into creating it. As well as carving the cross the stone around the cross has been cut way. This is a really poor description, but the result is a cross defined by a raised outline.
