The rock at NN 6204 3721 has at least eleven and possibly twelve cup marks, two of which appear to have very faint rings. The rock at NN 6204 3724 has two faint cup marks, but there is no definite evidence of rings. Although the descriptions given above differ somewhat, there is no doubt that they refer to the same site.
