Probably the ones in the British Museum.

Greenwell's Harbottle Peels thing (but it's not actually got any cups on it) is meant to be there, as is one of the Cist covers from Dod Moor. I dunno if they're on display though.
Dunno if there's more in the BM, but I suspect there will be.

Nearest RA to Kent still out in the field probably is either the ones in the Peaks, or the Fyfield thing Juamei was asking about the other day.

The nearest RA to Kent might actually be at Stonehenge - remember the axes ?

Whenever I go onto the Quay, in the N. Business Park, the security fellas turn out in their van to watch what I'm doing (I wonder why!).

Collingwood-Bruce's painting - if it is a painting - of the Bewick main panel in 1865 has these elongated cupmarks, four in a line and a fifth not far off it, as part of the integral design, rather than as quarrymarks. It's odd because the 1860 drawing, by someone else, doesn't show them at all. (It doesn't show a lot of other things either). It's just odd.

I'm going to scour Coldrum at the weekend in case, just in case...an optimist to the end!!
