Scrainwood 3
View through Europeana Collections
A small portable boulder re-used in the construction of a now dilapidated dry stone wall of some antiquity. A centrally placed large deep cup (0.08 m diameter) is cut into a sloping surface and five smaller cups (0.02 - 0.03 m diameter) are arranged around it in an arc - similar to a 'cats-paw' imprint. Stone has some side damage presumable when incorporated into the wall or later. This formation can also be seen at other sites eg Fontburn b.
A significant cairn once stood on higher ground some 60 m south - the field is now cleared and bare.
