What is recorded here

Found during landscaping works c. 30m NE of a Portal tomb (WI007-033----) and subsequently moved to beside the tomb. A rounded granite boulder (diams. 1.15m; 1.05m; T 0. 65m) with a series of weathered cup marks and small pock marks carved into it. There are some six reasonably well-defined, though shallow (D 1.5cm) cup marks (av. diams. 5-6cm). Other crude hollows may be weathered cup marks, while several smaller indentations appear to represent pock marks. There are also a series of plough marks suggesting that this was formerly an earthfast boulder with only a small portion of the stone exposed above the ground surface.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this rock art is associated with a portal tomb and may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to funerary practices or landscape marking. Cup marks are commonly found near megalithic monuments and may represent offerings or cosmological symbols.
