This is probably the most distinctive carved outcrop in the townland, as it is one of the few panels that stands 1m above the ground. It is made easier to find as it is against the fence close to a standing stone.

Sadly, it is very, very eroded and the motifs are very difficult to make out. I could see two cup and ring designs and a few cups. Standing against the fence nearby there is an upright slab about 1.5m x 1m. The face towards the outcrop has many faint cup marks against it. In the centre of the panel there is shallow cup about 10cm in diameter. This isn't deep enough to be classed as a bullaun.
