The stone itself is modest, measuring roughly 69 centimetres long, 28 centimetres wide, and less than 20 centimetres thick, with some moss growth softening its edges. It is no longer in its original location, which means whatever relationship these carvings once had with the surrounding landscape, a view, a water source, a burial, has been severed. That displacement is itself a small puzzle. Nearby sit a sub-circular stone bearing a large cupmark and several fragmentary disc querns, the flat rotary grinding stones used in later prehistoric and early historic periods, suggesting this corner of a Wicklow field has accumulated objects of some age.

The decoration on the stone was recorded in detail by Dr. Clíodhna Ní Lionáin as part of the UCD Wicklow Rock Art Project, based at the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin. Cup-and-ring motifs, the most characteristic form of prehistoric rock art found across Atlantic Europe, consist of a shallow circular depression, the cupmark, surrounded by one or more incised rings. On this stone there are two such motifs, measuring roughly 8 and 10 centimetres overall, joined by a linear groove 23 centimetres long. Further cupmarks sit to the right of and above the smaller motif, each with its own groove extending outward, one running 30 centimetres, another 13 centimetres. A third groove, 19 centimetres long, curves along the left side of the larger motif and appears to follow the natural outline of the stone itself, as if the carver was responding directly to the shape of the rock. Three further possible cupmarks have been identified above the connector groove linking the two ring motifs. The overall effect is of a surface that was thought about carefully, marked deliberately, and meant to be read in some way that is no longer recoverable.
