Carnbane West viewed from the hillside on Carnbane East, the cairns are obscured by mist. This might look photoshopped but the mist and golden light was magical enough as it was.

The base of the stone seems to have been the main focus of the megalithic art, as you can see it’s now very badly eroded.

When visiting Carnbane West, you pass this stone standing near the hedge and now set in a concrete base. I had read it was carved but had not seen the carvings illustrated, along with some deep cup marks there are arcs, lines and other indistinct motifs.
