What is recorded here

Identified by Van Hoek in 1987 and described as 'A few metres NNW of DON 6 (DG003-016----) is a long and smooth outcrop in grassland. It has some interesting features: from its W end, where it slopes 9 degrees ESE, to its E end, where it slopes 16 degrees NE, is a row of 12 cupmarks. Three of these are normally pocked cupmarks, but eight consist of very shallow and large disc-cups (cf. DON 13 and 28), some of which have been almost completely worn off. The westernmost disc-cup might have a partial large ring. At the extreme E end is another unusual feature, consisting of a ring which encloses a small cupmark on a low boss' (Van Hoek 1987, 28).
