What a remarkable thing!
A cup and ring marked stone? In Gloucestershire? Written up by that stalwart of the Scots CnR fraternity R.W.B. Morris? In 1983?
Apparently so.
A tidy account of this OOPPRA* provided courstesy of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society. Via the University of Gloucestershire website.
(*out-of-place-portable-rock-art. I just made that term up. It's utter tosh really, as the stone found was made of local oolite, so it's not out of place. Which actually makes it seem all the more remarkable as you do not get CnRs down south. everyone knows that...)

Apparently, this was once thought to be a very ruinous chambered cairn. But this is now disputed.
|
Is it a cairn?
Or is it a fort?
It's a cairn.
In a plantation.

A tiny thumbnail of a decidedly cup maked stone, with a bit of extra dressing on the top.

The bit of the BBC's Countryfile programme which has Stan Beckensall and Aron Mazel talking about Northumbrian RA.
Some nice shots of Ketley Crag in there.

Currently obsessed with waving torches at things, often including rocks, as a prelude to some serious waving of torches at rocks that will inevitably appear here on tma at some point :)
