Large lintel block.
Near the rock a spring, comparable to AK-1 rock. The inscription-bearing rock face overhanging and relatively low; the place below this rock face is inapplicable as resting place due to the narrowness and the dampness. On the opposite side, however, protection from weather.
At several points scratchings. Badly preserved Raetic inscriptions on Bildstelle 1 (upper area left of the centre of the rock face, see Mandl 2011: Abb. 143), dating to the La Tène period. It cannot be excluded that more inscriptions were written on the wall, e.g. between the three inscriptions recorded in the TIR, or on the darker part of the wall to the right of the centre. No inscriptions can be found on Bildstelle 2 (lower area on the very right of the rock face, cp. Mandl 2011: Abb. 143). The area is filled with various scratchings, including two characters which were suspected to be Raetic by Mandl (cp. the caption of Abb. 145): A lozenge with a dot in the centre, reminiscent of Phi, followed by 
as it appears in both of the legible Raetic inscriptions on the rock. However, the two characters are written horizontally and are in suspiciously good condition; the dotted lozenge appears on its own elsewhere on the rock wall.
The find place is located in the Achensee region which is part of the Northern Limestone Alps. This mountain range is made of lighter and more porous rock at which the major component is limestone. Additionally dolomite, marl, sandstone or comparable components appear.
