There are numerous conglomerate slabs in the area (with cavities where the pebble had been obviously dislodged), but this one looked very, very different to my untrained eye. The OS ref I've given is approximate. You should have got in touch G , I'm only a few miles from there . Yes it's a certainty . There are a few on the hill , both sides ,a wee bit odd in that some are close to the top , one is part of the dun . Is it personal and prolonged experience that decides if these cup marks are natural or man-made or other defining clues? To my untrained eye it just looks like another rock with weathered depressions on it. Not being purposely obtuse just asking. It does help with the less than obvious ones ,but in this case have a closer look at the pics again Roy , you 'll see that there are single rings around three of the cup marks , creating a donut effect . Pick marks , as Goff mentions are also diagnostic . Reply | with quote |  5th June 2012ce 11:54 In reply to: Re: Calling Tiompan/Rock Art Experts..Cup Marked Slab? (Sanctuary) |
