Dour Hill Long Cairn b
View through Europeana Collections
A large boulder embedded in the body of a chambered long cairn. With flat sides, it may have been quarried though no tool marks were noticed, it is held in place by other stones.
Three cup marks, two of which are very flat-bottomed, and the third, though deeper, has an extension which may be later erosion damage. Other cup marks are considered naturally formed within planar cracks by physical damage. No evidence of nodule fallout was found to account for the unusual profile. The panel may have been moved or reused in the cairn construction.
