A slab of smooth shale, which partially lies in the access road to the quarry. This is covered with 18th and 19th century
inscriptions (1745 - 1818), some of which are very faint. There are likely to be more inscriptions on parts of the rock that are currently buried under shallow overburden. The exposed parts of this site are under immediate threat as it lies in a road leading into the quarry used by tourist busses. Vos first recorded the site in 1987. Illustrations in his report
indicate that deterioration of the inscriptions has taken place over the last 10 years.
