Cup and ring marks accompanied by an incised pre-Christian (Bruce 1896) cross set within an oval, and two pairs of scuptured footprints, each foot only having 4 toes. The figures have been carved on the previously prepared surface of an area of rock outcrop. The cup and ring markings have been filled with white paint.

This cup and ring marked rock was entirely covered with turf a few years ago to protect it from vandalism.
