This big stone has 90 cup-marks on the large flat surface and 60 cup-marks on the lower smaller surface. He is known to the locals as “Sass Pagan”, “Pagan Stone”.
The stone is located at the edge of the forest, about 20 m above the small road. I asked a farmer if I could cross the fence, which he allowed. It needs a short walk a bit uphill, through grass and fallen stones. You cannot overlook the protecting roof from the road.
