Archaeology Notes

NS07NW 7 035 752.

NS 035 752. Five cup marks, up to 2 3/4ins in diameter, by 1/2ins deep, occur on a humpbacked rock outcrop, 45ft across by 15ft high, located 400 yards NNE of farmhouse and 110 yards south of a field wall.

R W B Morris 1971.

The only cup marked rock in this vicinity is NS07NW 6. It is probable, however, that the measurements given by Morris refer to the larger outcrop of which NS07NW 6 forms part.

Visited by OS (B S) 13 October 1976.
