Maarten van Hoek The Geography of Cup-and-Ring ... - StoneWatch

leading to a small cup-and-one-ring which has a short groove from its
ring. There are many rocks in ZONE C showing traces of quarrying.
Group 32. Near the east edge of the same tongue of land is a large,
probably quarried outcrop almost on ground level. On a small projecting
bit are four crude cupmarks close together, some with short grooves.
Group 33. On the SE edge of the same tongue of land is a huge boulder
or outcrop. Directly to the east of it and some three metres below the
top of the boulder, more or less on ground level, are some smooth
outcrops, sloping to the south. On the eastmost panel are eight single
cupmarks, all clearly carved. Seven of the cupmarks form a distinct
row.
The outcrop nearest to the huge boulder features at least 42 cupmarks
of which four form a row. Eleven other cupmarks form another distinct
row which seems to be a continuation of the row on the eastmost panel.
Most of the cupmarks of the row of eleven have long grooves running
from them to the north, against the gradient.
To the south of the group of cupmarks is a faint cup-and-two-rings; a
very faint small cup-and-one-ring; two large Latin crosses, one with
small dots at its extremities and an incomplete example next to it, also
with dots. Remarkable are three rectangles averaging about 20 cm in
length. One of the rectangles seems to be empty, the other two are
filled with four and five parallel grooves and these may be compared
with motifs at Group 3. There are more faint traces of crosses,
grooves and small cups.
