Full Description

NB13SE 57 170 344

NB 170 344 There are between four and seven cup marks on a loose stone, 48 x 33 x 12cm, having some natural (?glaciated) faces and some well-weathered broken faces and edges - possibly part of a former standing stone (rather than fractured bedrock). The stone was found lying on the ground and seems to have tumbled from an appropriate gap in the E side of a N-S drystone wall which is shown on the 1853 edition of the OS 6" map and runs from Loch Nishavat to Loch Barraglom.
