Blodstenen is a large stone about 5 x 5m and 1m high located in a field in Sorø, Denmark. The stone has at least 52 cupmarks in two sections, many of the cupmarks are deep and very clear. The stone is called the Bloodstone because according to legend it was used for sacrifice, where the blood ran down the cupmarks!
