NM 946 273. On a large, rounded, granite boulder, measuring 1.3 by 0.75 metres and 0.75 metres high, and which is incorporated in the wall running SW from Clachadow farmhouse to a stone sheepfold, there are at least three cup marks. Near the SW end of the NW face of the stone there is one large cup, 85mm in diameter and 30mm deep, and near the NE end there are two others, 40mm and 30mm in diameter and 20mm and 10mm in depth respectively. The upper surface bears two hollows, one circular and one oval, which are probably of natural origin.
