Here is an excerpt from the book "The Archeology and history of Ancient Dean an The Wye Valley" by Brian Walters first published in 1992. Page 35. in which it is mentioned. "Recent field work by Brian Johns has identified several cup marked and incised groove stones in Dean. The first to be found were in Blakeney Hill woods where one had been incorporated into a later stone structure while two others lay nearby. Three more were found on Broom Hill near an ancient trackway and not far from the "Drummer Boy Stone", itself hollowed out. Other rocks with incised grooves were found near the above sites. Examples are now in the nearby Dean Heritage Museum. A further cup-stone was noted by Toby Groves in a field near Abbot's Mill, Brockweir, although it was more bowl than cup-shaped being 18cm in diameter and over 7cm deep."
