Never mind the possible eroded cups with the red stuff, what’s that thing in the background?

Large, slightly conical cup, about 8 inches in diameter, found at Weetwood Bridge.

A small part of the top ridge. Mesolithic stuff found here.
Big natural (it must be natural) cup. It’s about 50cm diameter, there’s a quid coin in the photo to give the scale.
