The single deep hollow on
the recumbent.
The upper edge of the flat outer face of the recumbent stone is visible top
left. The recumbent bears only
this one cup, and the depth and straight sides of the hole lead many to suspect it
of being a
modern drill hole and not original
rock art. Large stones found in nearby dykes are strong suspects for the missing
circle stones and several of
these bear drill holes, so this "cup" may be a remnant from an abortive stone
splitting attempt.
We were reminded of the recumbent at Strichen
which has a similarly placed, but much deeper, drill hole.
Despite the suspicions of a modern date for the "cup" it is aligned with the
major moonset (5).
