A second stone has around 55 cup marks. The site sits right by the modern north south road through Karleby. This road is one of the oldest roads in the world dating back to the Neolithic era. In 1923 excavations for road works uncovered human bones, a flint dagger and flint flakes. To reach the site drive east from Falköping towards Åsle and turn south towards Karleby after approximately 3 kilometres. The site is approximately 1 kilometre south after you turn off the Åsle road.
