A carved area of bedrock with a carved outline of a warrior figure with a shield in one hand and spear or sword in the other. A natural fissure has been utilised as the sword / spear and the figure stands 'guard' over a wider fissure direct to its south. The figure bears many similarities to the Romano-Celtic god, Cocidius, although it is difficult to equate this figure to anything other than a warrior. To the south, under turf, is an 'L' shape of two linear grooves. To the right of this are three grooves terminated at each end by small cups. The leftmost curves out to the left, the centre one straight, and the rightmost is S shaped extending to the rock edge. These latter grooves form an informal 'M'.

Cups and grooves quite different from the usual rock art and they may be contemporary with the figure.
