Anyone know if this site is the same as the cup-marked stone, upon which a cross was placed, in the same churchyard? Or do I need to enter a new cup&ring site here? Is it still there? One early record strongly suggests it to have been the crowning stone of a cromlech.

Help!

If you look at the link Rhiannon has posted on this site it mentions the stump of a cross to the right of the church, which doesn't sound as if it's the one refered to here.
