D N Marshall 1985
This earthfast cup marked boulder lies close to the top of an improved field of pasture on the steep SW flank of Eenan Hill, some 440m NW of Scarrel farmsteading (NS06NW 62). It measures 1.2m from NNE to SSW by 0.7m and 0.3m in height. On its upper surface there are thirteen cupmarks, the largest measuring about 60mm in diameter but only 3mm in depth, which form two distinct groups separated by a natural fissure which crosses the boulder from WNW to ESE.
