A lovely round boulder with a single bullaun place firmly at its centre. The boulder is 1.5m x 1m and lies next to a modern fence near to the bottom of a south-facing slope. On the opposite side of the stream below the site there are two rock art panels (see Carrigeenshinnagh (County Wicklow) and Drummin (County Wicklow)).

The single basin is about 30cm in diameter and 15-20cm deep.
