An extensive, flat-topped coastal outcrop on the western side of Casey Bay, Enderby Land. The dark-brown rock is almost sheer on the seaward side and rises a little above the level of the continental ice inland. Plotted from air photographs taken from an ANARE aircraft in 1956. First visited by an ANARE party led by S L Kirkby in November 1960. Named after Sgt K Felton, RAAF, engine fitter at Mawson in 1960.
