Solitary cup marks
Dec 24, 2016, 16:27
Are there any confirmed in England? How can you ID them as genuine, not natural? I have found about ten on the gritstone around Sheffield this year, and am very reluctant to claim them as being TMA worthy, but the thought nags..all about six inches across. I have also found one instance of two side by side..I photograph and move on. I have looked for cupmarks on one hell of a lot of stones, and gritstone doesn't appear to be any way near prone to pockmarking as limestone. I cannot help but wonder if bullaun stones are a purely Scottish (Irish too? Pass). When you find one on the highest point of a hill you can be, I hope, forgiven for wondering. Thoughts and info welcomed.
