I was at this site, visiting the barrows, but did not know of its existence - hence no photo. From the HER:
Extant Prehistoric cup marked stone within the Sancreed Beacon area with multiple shallow cup marks, some possibly in linear patterns all over the flat north face of this wedge shaped stone.
This face looks towards Carn Gulva and Nine Maidens Circle clearly visible on the horizon. Mounts Bay is clearly visible to the East. The wedge shaped granite stone measures 0.97m across to top edge, 1.80m in depth across the base, and is 0.55m high
