The capstone contains carving shown in previous photo. There are other carvings on rock , a runnel and basin . Is this a natural feature used for worship or constructed ?

There are quite a few of these 'druid's basins' on the rocks on the moors up here in Yorkshire too. Mostly natural erosion I think.

thanks david for your comment. This is on the capstone where will recieve only rainfall. look again at the relief left by the sculpture . Bear in mind that the rock is granite . Weathers very slowly and smoothly.
