Situated on the SE side of an open area abutting onto a farmyard wall. Slab-built trough divided into three sections (dims. 5.85m x 2.6m; D 0.8m) fed by a spring, which fills the N trough. Named 'Three Wells' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A possible bullaun, which has now been removed, apparently formed part of one of the internal dividing walls. There is a possible graveyard (WI034-017----) 20m to the SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

Site described by Dr. Clíodhna Ní Lionáin of the UCD Wicklow Rock Art Project as following; 'This slab is located around 300m northeast and uphill of WI034-030----. It has been placed against a field boundary hedgerow, just inside the field gate. This sub-rectangular granite slab (1.14m long x 0.82m wide x 0.23m high) has a mottled coloured surface, presumably a result of lichen growth. There is a scatter of at least 8 cupmarks (4.5cm diameter, 2cm deep) and another 5 possible cupmarks, which are concentrated on the end of the decorated face which is closest to the field boundary. They do not appear to form any particular pattern'(www.wicklowrockartproject.com).
