I don't know what we were expecting, but I don't think either myself or Ken were expecting to see such a huge stone! This cup-marked stone is built into a field boundary among many other large boulders that line the base of the bank.
One end of the stone is unmarked, so this end was presumably buried. The other end is 'dotted' with 6cm diameter cup-marks, some deeper and more well-defined than others. We counted 9 in all and could not see any form of pattern to them. The stone measures about 2m x 1m.
The farmer told us that his father cleared the fields many years ago and it was probably he that put the stone where it is today. I'm afraid I deleted the GPS coordinates before writing them down.
