The Prickesten featuring Cup Marks is located in the small nature reservere Klackabacken. The remainders of limestone helped date the Prickesten to the Cretaceous period in the Kristianstad area, ca. 75 milion years ago.
Local legend has it that giants gathered at the boulder to have their meals. They scooped the cups from the stone with their bare hands. Another has it that 'the little people under ground' used the hollows as baths.
The site is right next to the road, but a small fence has to be climbed to reach it .
