One prop and two points-of-contact.
There are linear grooves in the bedrock surface immediately south of the propped stone (1m long, 25mm wide and 10m deep). Their aetiology is unclear. The lower edge of the west face of the propped stone appeared to show some deckling – crescent-shaped absences possibly indicative of percussive shaping or of initial extraction using wood wedges. The prop showed a broad (25mm) horizontal band of quartz, there was no similar banding evident within a 100m search area. The long axis of the feature aligned with the general area of the Carn Galva tin mine; this, and the quartz-veined prop, might just be a reference to prehistoric surface extraction.
