Thanks for breaking that up. I could have used the intervention a few days ago. There are some natural cupmarked (or pitted, more like) stones, at the Knar, that have been gathered together, but these aren't they. I'm still learning, of course ...

When I was a child there was a solid stone bridge over a little stream, down Ivy Road. We used to play there a bit - mid nineteen fifties - Robin Hood/Friar Tuck games mainly. This little stone bridge was pulled out, perhaps in the eighties, and stuck in the garden of a local church. It was a christianised standing stone, with a dinky little cross on top, that had been hidden in the bankside. This stone is cupmarked, on one side, but nobody will ever admit that they are actually cupmarks. We've no idea where the standing stone originally stood, of course, and the best guess is where Ivy Road is now.
