Found during ploughing c. 1.8m to the SW in Baltynanima and moved here in the mid 1980's (see W1018-036---- for original location record). An irregular shaped schist boulder (L 1.3m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.5m) with 16 cup marks and the remains of another where the corner of the boulder appears to have come away. The four largest cups (diams. 10-12cm; D c. 6cm) are enclosed by circles (max ext. diam. 20cm) formed by incised lines (Wth 1.5-2cm; D 1cm) with the exception of one which has only a semi circle incised line around it. The remaining 13 cups have diameters of 6-8cm and depths of 4-5cm. There are also 3 incised linear grooves (L 14- 22cm; Wth 4cm; D 2.5-3.5cm) visible on the stones surface. Described, photographed and drawn by Price on the 29th January 1933 (Corlett & Weaver 2002, vol. 1, 185). Price also noted (ibid. p. 185) 'A hundred yards or so to SE in the next field to cup-and-circle stone [is] a flat flag, with a lot of small cups on it [measures 3ft long x 21/2ft wide]. Another, a granite boulder, with six or more small pits, E of cup-and-circle stone, and about 150-200yds from it. Another, mica schist, a 'flag' covered with medium sized and small pits, 200yds or so to S of cup-and-circle stone.' None of the latter three stones have yet been located (Corlett 2005, 24).
