| Agreed about Giant's Grave, looks like it ought to be older, but isn't. I've a nice old pic of it. A bit of rooting about on google showed the plague stone to be in the grounds of an old folks home, but the descrption makes it sound as if it's a rectangular hole, a bit like a cross socket: "It is a square stone 'like a great font' In his History of Penrith (1857) Walker wrote that the chief market appears to have been at the SE of Penrith, and the base of the cross remained in his day 'Surmounting the pile is a block of freestone, hollowed in the centre as a trough, about 12 inches square and 10 inches deep" So probably not much chance of it being an old cupmark.
