Do you know anything of this place Stu? Happened across it while trying to findy my way back to the road from Dragon's Den/ Brownlow Roacher. It's not marked on the OS map, but looked like it has a couple of cups on it.

Hey up KK,
I'm afraid I can't be much help with your stone.
'S been sometime since I was last up that way but I don't think it's a stone I've come across.
The possible cup marks look interesting.....Although I've gotta admit to being very wary about thinking along them lines because of the Eastern and Dark Peak Moors 20th century military training history, in particular those ones close to Sheffield.
nice one
stu.

Hi Stu,
aye, I've been caught out by those before, although these do look very worn n' smooth.
More umming n' arring to be done. Anyone else got any ideas?

Just noticed this KK, i'm not exactly sure where your stone is though.
I've got some pics of stones in the area, i'll up two of them temporarily for you to have a look at, i'll delete em when you confirm you've had a look.
These two are on the golf course and show natural markings, one obvious the other not so and at first glance appear cup like.
Cheers.

Are you sure all of those marks are natural? One or two of them look like they might be man-made.

I agree! This one definately looks to have a couple of worked dips.

I forgot to add the link but that was the picture I meant. The mark with the circle of lichen round it looks tasty and the groove at the top of the picture looks quite well defined too.

Hi Geoff,
sorry - just spotted this. Some of those marks look pretty interesting - many look natural, especially those around the edges of the rocks, but some certainly look like they warrant further investigation.
The possible standing stone/cup marked rock that I found is on Wharncliffe Chase. Facing the lodge from the Hob Stones on Brownlow Roacher (with the little crags to your right), it is a little way back from the wooded area by the lodge to your right on the open fields. I guess the best thing to do is show you sometime.
Normally I'd be quite dubious. But with a settlement not so very far away and other Bronze Age activity in the area, it's a tempting possibility!
