Full Description

Phone call by Dougie Scott to report the discovery of cup marked stones (reported to him by another). Probably a little to the SE of this reported area and a different collection. Sinuous line of boulders in situ large and earthfast with cupmarks on upper surfaces. Worn dur to sheep trample, 4-5 each obvious still. Another extremely large stone has rows of cupmarks along the rounded top. Perhaps 30-40. These stones are of softer form than those closer to the stream. Plans to go back & plot stones and photograph them,
