'B' a large block 3.6m x 1.8m x 1.0m maximum height. It is largely earth-covered. It has twenty-three cup marks on its two outer edges.

'G', a boulder, 2.8m x 1.5m x 0.6m, lying on the bank of a stream, has probably slipped from its original position due to erosion. It has six extremely shallow cup marks on its upper surface.
