The stone’s current setting, looking eastish. At least four Herefordshire hillforts (Backbury, Dinedor, Aconbury and Credenhill Camp) can be seen from this spot.

A step was cut into the stone at one point so that it could be used as a mounting block. We’ll never know whether there was another cupmark in that corner.
