Megalithic89 visited on 28th Oct 2023 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Nearest Public Transport Stop is "Bedigliora Scuola Media". Parking space is available there. Walk 10 minutes along "Via Barèla" and turn right into the natural path, leading down to the Chapel. The rock is behind the Chapel.
Rock (base of the chapel) dimension 1,8-2,3 x 0,6-1,4 m with 36 cup marks of 2 - 10 cm Ø and 1 - 5 cm depth, partly connected to gutters.
The rock is in direct contact with the Chapel "Capèla dala Barèla" erected, according to popular memory, on the place where the dead, victims of a pestilence, were buried. On my second visit, on 28th October, the setting sun shone on the stone.
