At the farm called Fossum with a beautiful view over the lake Mjøsa is a cup marked boulder. The boulder is located next to the small country road going trough the farm and next to a small farmhouse. It is in a grassy field with high grass but is easily visible from the small road.
The boulder is around 3 metres in length, 2,5 metres wide and around 1 metre above ground. It is rectangular shaped with rounded corners. On the top flat surface it is 150 cup marks. Some are more clear than others and I counted around 40 deep and clear ones. The top surface is full of dents and small round depressions and everyone are believed to be cup marks. The largest cup marks are around 12cm in diameter and around 3cm deep.
