I was very pleased to find this stone. The decoration is very subtle, very unusual and very nice. Unlike most of the other panels in this townland this is not a flat surface, but a rounded boulder. The axis of the stone is northeast-southwest.

The main part decoration consists of a single cup-and-ring motif with one ring and two straight lines that are almost parallel and run away from the sides cup-and-ring. The cup-and-ring is on the west side of the stone and the lines run eastwards over the top of it.

A pile of dirt, peat and heather cover up some other carved lines, but there are no other cup-based designs.
