On this visit the rain was pouring down and the mist was thick. I only found this stone because I had the GPS coordinates for it. The whole area here is strewn with boulders and old field walls, which means that you have to check every stone even when you have accurate GPS readings. The ground is very boggy, too, and the high reeds mean that you'll get very, very wet walking around here if it's been raining recently.
The panel is about 1.5m x 1.5m and next to a short stretch of wall that seems to serve no purpose. A crack along the rock separates a cluster of cup-and-ring motifs from a larger cup-and-ring design.
I wish I could tell you more and that my pictures were better, but the weather really was foul. I will be back to this townland to seek out the many other stones in the area, and I'll definitely come back to this one.
