New discoveries at Trefael Stone in Wales
The Trefael Stone, standing in a large rectangular field north of the village of Nevern in west Pembrokeshire, until 2010, was considered to be a standing stone, one of a number that occupy this ancient landscape. Used as a cattle rubbing stone, it measures around 1.2 m in height and over 2 m in length and has on its southern face up to 75 cupmarks.

STONES AS LEY INDICATORS - Ian Taylor
An interesting study of the Wheeldale Stones

"The Crick barrow is also a rare example of monument that may support the link between cup-marked stones and solar observation. Such a relationship has been suspected at prehistoric sites in Scotland and Ireland, but they are insufficient in number to reach any positive conclusion on this point. Cup-marked stones are uncommon in Wales and few round barrows have been excavated in Gwent county, so there are currently no similar sites available for comparison. Similar sites might be revealed during the course of future excavations, but in their absence it appears that, hidden beneath the mound at Crick, we find further evidence that significant seasonal days were recognised and revered during the British Bronze Age some 3,500 years ago."
