Two groups of cup marks carved on a pair of boulders in a clearing in Northern Italy. Discovered by Paolo Chiaberto and the archaeo-astronomer Guido Cossard. It is argued that their arrangement strongly resembles the Pleiades constellation as seen about 5000-6000 years ago and includes the "lost" 7th Pleiad.
The carvings were found near the Plan des Sorcières (literally: "The witches’ plateau").
