Pat O'Halloran recently discovered these stones on the flanks of Loose Howe.
I had a walk up there recently and carefully peeled back the heather to reveal further cup marks.

"From the east window of the bar [Blakey Inn / The Lion] can be seen the grave at Loose Howe where a Bronze Age chieftain was interred in a boatlike oak coffin, armed, clothed and equipped for his "voyage," with a smaller dugout placed alongside."
