What is recorded here

On a relatively level piece of ground, overlooking the Keocha Brook, a low-level, earthfast granite boulder (1.26m N-S; 0.8m E-W; H 0.38m). The surface of the boulder is reasonably flat and features c. 22 cup marks (avg. diam. 4cm; D 0.5cm-1cm) scattered across the stone with the most dense concentration across the centre.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cup marks on the boulder may have held ritual or symbolic significance, possibly related to water or fertility, given its location near the Keocha Brook. Similar rock art is often associated with ceremonial or territorial marking in prehistoric landscapes.
