This stone was dug out of a field from a depth of around 1m during field clearance a few years ago. It measures about 1m x 0.5m x 0.5m and has carvings on one face. It now resides in a garden border opposite the backdoor of the lady who owns the field where it was uncovered. It is only available to view nowadays due to the insistence of this lady, who stopped it being reburied. The condition of the carvings indicates that the stone was exposed for a long time before becoming buried.
I visited during the afternoon while the sun was shining brightly - a big mistake as the carved face now faces south. I managed to get some of the carvings to show up using side-flash when the sun disappeared behind cloud.
The motifs are spread right across the whole surface and are mainly cups with single rings around them. The cups are quite small and the rings are around 10cm in diameter.
