The rock is a large freestanding limestone lintel block with Raetic inscriptions on the perpendicular wall. It is situated in the Ammergebirge (Pürschlinggebiet) at about 1390 m a.s.l. (Schumacher 2016: 825) in steep, pathless terrain, in relative proximity to UG-3 rock and a considerable number of further inscribed blocks (none with known Raetic inscriptions). Coordinates are not provided to prevent damage to the inscriptions.
