The uppermost comprises one weathered cup (60mm by 15mm); 2m to the SSE there are three plain cups and one cup-and-ring; a further three cups lie 2m to the S; and 3.5m to the W there are at least ten plain cups, two of which may be surrounded by much-weathered single rings. About 40m to the SSW there is a tabular outcrop bearing a single cupmark (40mm by 10mm).
