I've posted another picture of the 'Man Stone' , here is what I wrote about it elsewhere
"The carving itself is quite striking - is it a human figure wearing a hat or wielding a bow, or is the upper part of the carving a second figure being held aloft or jumping over the lower figure? The interpretation might depend upon a faint possible cup mark at the top of the carving. In the picture I've shown this small mark as does Chappell in his illustration on Paul Bennett's website The Northern Antiquarian. If the mark is indeed deliberate then the second human figure theory might seem more likely."
I then added the cop-out clause "What it might mean or symbolise is of course anybody's guess."
