Large square shaped block (dims. 1.3m x 1.4m x 0.5m) lying on the E side of Lough Fad which is decorated with four separate cup-marks. There is a large central cup-mark with two open circles surrounding it, a second smaller cup mark in the upper right hand corner, this is also encircled by two open circles. In the upper left hand corner is a small plain cup-mark and there is a second, slightly longer plain cup-mark in the area near the lower left hand corner (Nolan 1994, 138). Area marked on 6-inch map was visited but there was no visible sign of the square-shaoed rock with the panel of rock art described above.
