A page with a photo of the cup-marked stone.

Apparently this one hasn't been seen for about 30 years.

"...7 cups, each surrounded by single rings, and at least 12 plain cups..."

A comment on the fact that this panel seems to be a bit worse for wear these days, despite having been previously turfed over to protect it from the ravages of sheep and the elements.

Alastair reckons this may have been embanked. Looking at his photos, he may well be right.
|
Apparently, these stones are the remains of a circle. If they are the same spot. The grid refs are not exactly the same, Alastair reckons SD192873.
|
Not much more detail than is given above, but has a link to an online map showing the position of this (apparently) lost long cairn.
|
The multiple rings are shown quite clearly, though it is pointed out that the stone is probably displaced from it's original position, based on the assumption that the row of stones in which it is found, may be a medieval field wall.

Some interesting information regarding a number of cup marks found on this feature.
Looking at Iron Man's photo, cup-like marks can be seen, I wonder if they are the same ones? They remind me of some of the 'controversial' cups at The Langdale boulders.

A list of illustrations of the 17 marked stones found in the cairns. Mostly nowt special, mostly single cups, but with a couple of bits that may be vaguely interesting to enthusiasts.

Details of a cup and groove marked stone found in the ramparts

Some nice photos and a couple of extracts from the local press

Detail of the cup marked stone with a little bit of background regarding cupmarks in general, and a nice 10 figure grid reference (SX 59480 75261) for this particular stone.

Ponting's pages. Lots of info, descriptions, site plans etc.
There's a lovely photo of the stones covered in snow.

By D.W. Harding:
This paper reviews progress in Atlantic Scottish Iron Age studies over the past twenty years, with particular reference to a long-term programme of fieldwork in west Lewis undertaken by the University of Edinburgh. It deprecates the survival and revival of older conventional models for defining and dating the major field monuments of the period and region in the face of accumulating evidence for the origins of Atlantic roundhouses in the mid-first millennium BC, and discusses important new evidence for the first-millennium AD sequence of occupation and material culture. The material assemblages of the Hebridean Iron Age are contrasted with the impoverished and relatively aceramic material culture of lowland Scotland and northern England, and the importance of the western seaways in later prehistoric and early historic times as a distinctive cultural region is emphasised.

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 :)
