Visit Notes

Saturday, 9th February 2008

Several weeks ago I sat on the wall in front of this stone scratching my head and wondering where it could be. To be fair I wasn't looking for something this big, nor was I expecting the stone to be earthfast. I was looking for a little rock with a bit of rock art on it, perhaps set into a wall. It is quite easy to find when you know where it is - behind the mailbox to Bracken House.

The panel is 1.5m x 1m and has 16 cup-marks spread across it. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to them.
