Rock Outcrop in Cornwall
Pastscape says - A rock at SW40982785, when seen in certain lights, appears to have traces of carving on its upper surface.
In the position given by Miss Russell is a large slab of granite, 1.8m square and 0.3 thick, resting at a slight angle on another large stone.
The upper surface of the slab, seen in early morning sunlight, has a few very vague depressions. They may be badly weathered cup marks but are more likely to be the result of natural weathering. In one place however, there are signs of what appear to be artificial markings. These consist of a series of shallow pecks forming a circular pattern 0.3m across.
