Cup stone

Cup Marked Stone

megadread Apr 14, 2011

Around 200 metres NNE of Wet Withens stone circle, with no path leading to it, a single cup mark on the NNW face of a largish but mostly covered boulder.

I found this whilst hunting for a possible piece of rock art further to the West, pointed out by Paulus on TNA, i didn’t find the piece but discovered this whilst taking a direct route off the moor due to torrential rain.

Good old British weather eh. !
