A series of concentric circles around a central depression - but clearly done with a chisel so no 'cup and ring' I'm afraid. On the other hand it isn't all that recent either.
The fallen stone looks like an old gatepost to me, and it is close to where a gate would once have been, where two public footpaths meet, just to the south west of High Cayton farm. I have passed it so many times and always find it a pleasure so thought it could be worth having on the webste in an area with little in the way of megaliths.
