Description: | Rectangular stone with cup marks on the obverse and reverse, called 'cobble'. One one side there is a larger central and smaller marginal cup while on the other a large central cup mark is surrounded by several smaller and a couple of medium-sized cup-marks. Both central cups are 94mm in diameter while the smaller ones diameters range from 20-60mm. These cup-marked decorated stones are generally dated to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age because they are sometimes associated with LNeo and EBA burial sites. However, an exact date is difficult to give. The cobble was recorded at Penrith Finds Day, 14.06.05 Beckensall, S. 2002. Prehistoric Rockart in Cumbria. Stroud, pp. 12f, 127f.
