  Description

  This hogback-shaped boulder is located on the lower NE slopes of Drung Hill, in the corner of the front garden of a modern bungalow. The siting commands a view of Dingle Bay along a narrow V-shaped valley formed by the sides of Knockboy and Knockatinna. The motifs are set close together on the face of the stone which slopes upwards to SE, and consist of a cup-and-three rings, four cup-and-two rings, two cup-and-rings, a faint ring and a number of simple cupmarks.
