Image of Hunterheugh 8 and 9 (Cup Marked Stone) by rockandy

Another view (from vertically above) of one of the large carved stones in the Settlement area. There has been millstone extraction from part of Hunterheugh Crags nearby (there are some broken fragments) and locals interpret these too as millstones. Could they instead be the base of large in situ querns? The huge slab this carving is on may have been moved to its current position as rabbits have partly burrowed underneath.

Massively carved outcrop near the Settlement at Hunterheugh Crags. Possibly, more ‘kitchen utensil’ than ‘rock-art’.
