Bargloyer Steinkiste
Bargloyer Steinkiste submitted by Martin_L : The capstone photographed with additional lighting to enhance the visibilty of the more than 60 cup-marks. Nevertheless due to the partly undulating surface of the granite erratic it is hard to show all cup-marks even when using several light sources. Documentation using frottage-technique for example would lead to more accurate results. May 2010 (Vote or comment on this photo)

Bargloyer Steinkiste
Bargloyer Steinkiste submitted by Martin_L : The more than 60 cup-marks are well visible at low-light conditions, but hard to make out at daytime as this picture illustrates. The capstone obviously also recently was cleaned. It looks like this further damaged the already wheatered surface. May 2010
