This stone is described and illustrated by van Hoek, who identifies 'one solo cup and a small dot; two cups with one and two rings (14cm in diameter); from the latter ring runs a looped groove enclosing a cup and a small dot. Naddair's interpretation of this stone is slightly different: his illustrations show a further four cups and another cup with one ring.
