Dove Stones

Cup Marked Stone

fitzcoraldo Jan 18, 2006

All we had to go on when looking for this carved stone was a fairly vague description of a stone near the Dove stones. That said, if there’s a stone to be found you can trust Rockrich and Paulus to sniff it out.
This particular stone is nothing spectacular but if you are like us and actually enjoy tramping across a waterlogged limestone wilderness then this is the spot for you.
