Stanage submitted by rogerkread : The ring cairn with the cup-marked stone in the foreground. The position of this stone seemed odd to me quite apart from the over-abundance of cups on it. Is it presumed that the stone was moved to the site when the ring cairn was built?? (Vote or comment on this photo)
