Cup-and-Ring Stone (lost): OS Grid Reference – NY 3851 8149
Archaeology & History
A petroglyph that was rediscovered as recently as 2003, by J. Ward, has, it would seem, already been lost. In all likelihood it has become hidden beneath vegetation. Found near the Petrifying Well, the carving is archetypal, consisting of a single cup surrounded by two rings, on a low flat piece of rock on the south-side of the Tarras burn, only a few hundred yards above the road. I’ve added the site here in the hope that a diligent petroglyph hunter can find it again and leave it open to the elements for us all to see. Let us know if you find it.
