Recumbent stone. 0. 93m by 0. 71m by 0. 45m high. 32 cup marks visible on upper surface (OS, 1973).

Cup marked boulder measures 37 inches x 28inches x 18 inches and was originally larger, as eastern side is missing. 32 cup marks visible including 3 cut through the break on east side, with average diameter of 1 and three quarters inch. Depth half an inch. (Pye 1968)

Visited by RCAHM 22/11/88 but could not find it at stated grid ref (SO15765858). They intended to make further enquiries and try to arrange for stone to be transferred to a museum

Visit by RCAHM 27/4/77 Cup marked stone lies at N side of farm track. Cup marks are genuine, occur mostly on S half of upper surfac and down S side. 29 marks counted. Suggest stone looks like found elsewhere and dumped here (SO15765858). Boulder is 1.22m long from N-S x 79cm wide x 45cm deep. Ancient break on E side so must originally have been longer in that direction

Stone with 12 cupmarks (up to 5cm diameter) visible on its S side. Cup marks appear authentic - not natural nodules. Stone dimensions 0.3m high x 0.75m E-W x 0.63m N-S. (CPAT 2002)
