These cup-markings are situated on a sheet of bedrock outcropping on the N side of the drystone wall at the base of the NE flank of Mill Knock. There are up to 12 cup-marks, the largest of which measures 80mm across and 20mm deep, on the sloping face of a smooth sheet of bedrock at NX 5560 5547 (Cree94 36). Some 60m to the SW (NX 5565 5542) a sheet of bedrock bears a single cup-mark 45mm across and 10mm deep (Cree94 37).
