OS 1:10,000 map, (1975)

In a broad, natural shelf in the hillside there is a squarish boulder measuring 1.5 by 1.0 metres and 0.8 metres in height. On its upper surface there are two plain cups, 70 mm and 50 mm in diameter and 20 mm and 12 mm in depth respectively.

RCAHMS 1975.

As described. It is not clear whether a horse-shoe arrangement of natural boulders to the west is a deliberate setting or merely fortuitous.

Visited by OS (R D) 7 October 1969.
