A number of cup and ring marks have been revealed on the SE face of a steeply sloping (35-40%) rocky knoll: panel A- 5 cups, three with a ring round them, one with two complete and a third, incomplete, ring. There was also a ring around it, containing one of the cups. Panel B - 19 cups, eight with one ring around them, three with tails. Panel C - 12 cups, two surrounded by a single ring. Panel D - 25 cups, two having one ring around them, two with tails, and nine of the smaller cups formed into a ring connected by a groove. There are other scattered cups all around this knoll.
