Several groups of markings have been found on the exposed faces of the greywacke outcrops in this open pastureland. There are cups, cups with rings, and some with connecting channels. The carvings show much variation in design, incorporating complete and gapped rings, and some with radial grooves. The maximum number of rings is six, and the greatest diameter within the fenced groups is 0.38m. A recently-discovered outcrop, 250m south-south-west of the farm at NX 361446, includes a much weathered cup-and-five rings, 0.71m in diameter.
