C5. Panel Notes
This is a squared schist boulder measuring 0.84 x 0.60m and 0.2m high with a flat upper surface. The stone has been reused at some point in the past, possibly as the base for a piece of machinery and may have been cut to the present shape. At one end there are the remains of four small metal posts or bolts set into the stone and held in place with lead. The posts or bolts have been cut off at the base. There are 6 small cups grouped at one end of the stone.
