Roskilde Skåltegn
Roskilde Skåltegn submitted by NeolithicFanatic : The northern stone. Some of the cup marks are visible from this angle. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Located in the centre of Roskilde (Denmark) just west of the cathedral stand two large stones placed in the front yard of the former school master's house. One stone is lying down while the other is standing. The northern stone, which is the standing one, was recently noted (2017) to have about 20 cup marks carved into it, see the photos on our page.

The two stones are not in their original position as they are believed to have come from the remains of a passage grave from the Neolithic that was found during the 1930s under the street and houses just a few metres further down the road. These two stones were removed from that location and then placed in their current position for unknown reasons. The remaining stones from the tomb were sold to stonemasons.

More information about the cup marked stone can be read here: Fortidsminde 322763

More information regarding the tomb they are believed to have come from can be read here.
