Recorded monuments

• CO106-065 Standing stone
  Description

  On a break of a NNW-facing slope, at the foot of a ridge. This standing stone was recorded in March 1996 and described as a thin, rectangular, upright slab (1.2m x 1.32m x 0.6-0.1m) on a NNW-SSE orientation. There is a single cupmark on both sides of the slab: the cupmark on the ENE side measures 0.08-0.09m in diameter and is 0.05m deep; the cupmark on the WSW side measures 0.07m in diameter and is 0.04m deep. The cupmarks are positioned exactly opposite each other so that they almost form a hole through the slab.
