Archaeology Notes

NN63NW 125 61304 35968 and 61309 35962.

Two prominent earthfast erratics, 5m apart and close to the centre of a pasture field immediately NE of Cruachan Farm Caravan Park, between them bear five cupmarks and one cup-and-ring marking. The boulder to the NW (BL00 1285; NN 61304 35968) measures 3.5m by 2.8m and stands 0.9m above ground level. It has four plain cups on its spine, the largest of which measures 60mm in diameter and 10mm in depth. That to the SE (BL00 1286; NN 61309 35962) is a much larger boulder, measuring 4.6m by 3.1m and standing 1.7m high. On its highest point there is a cup with a single ring measuring 80mm in diameter overall, and a single cup measuring 70mm in diameter and 10mm in depth.
