NM80SW 30 8395 0050.
NM 838 006. In a pasture field immediately beyond Carnassarie Cottage, and only about three yards north of the minor road leading from the main road to Carnassarie farm, is a stone with possible cup-marks. The boulder is dome-shaped and square-sided, measuring 2' by 1 1/2' by 1'. On its dome top are two shallow cups 3" in diameter and half an inch deep set fairly wide apart, one to the east side, the other to the west.
