Rock Art in Cornwall
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for these cup marked stones - see their entry for Tregulland Cup-Marks, Treneglos, Cornwall, which gives a more generic grid reference of SX 199 868 along with photographs of some of the stones and detailed descriptions.
TNA says: "In the once-impressive Tregulland Burrow barrow that was found here on the south-side of the road a few hundred yards up from Cold Northcott, just next to the old township boundary line, as many as eighteen carved stones were unearthed! They were all found inside different sections of the barrow, which was built on top of an earlier cairn structure, which appears to have been built upon an even earlier concentric ring of upright wooden poles. The cup-marked stones appear to have been introduced, or etched, around the time when the cairn structure was laid on top of the concentric ring of stake-holes. This “tradition” of adding cup-marked stones to cairns is a feature found at a number of sites in the northern lands of Yorkshire, Northumbria and across the Scottish counties, but such a celebrated event as this in the far southwest is highly unusual!"
The barrow itself is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 43613, which adds: "Cup marked stones found amongst the infill of a central rectalinear pit, one end of which was undisturbed, suggest a stone lined grave."
Note: Have you seen these cup marked an ornamented stones? Do you know their current location? Do you have any photographs or information to add?
