... from The Antonine Wall: A Handbook To The Surviving Remains
Anne Robertson 'revised by Lawrence Keppie' pp30

Some 1.25km south of the Wall, near a circular concrete water tower at Carrickstone, now being enveloped by housing as a suburb of Cumbernauld, is a Roman alter, traditionally called 'The Carrick Stone', set apparently on its original base, and now protected by railings.

I did a course with Lawrencef Keppie last year on the Romans in Scotland. I can vaguely remember him mentioning this stone but not about any cup marks on top. Keppie is one of our top roman scholars (also curator of Glasgow Uni' Huntarian Museum).

If I can find his e-mail address I'll drop him a line. If any one knows about this stone it will be him.
