Log Text: To find, this requires an accurate GPS and exact grid reference (5 figures easting and northing) as there are numerous other rocks in the area and navigation is confusing. It is somewhat on its own in boggy vegetation close to several Bronze age cairns. The rock art is not very obvious because the rock has been partially covered by vegetation encroaching around the edges and onto the top surface. Encrusting lichens cover over half of the top surface. Nonetheless, the visible features include several cups, though the interconnecting lines are less visible.

Log Text: This stone with rock art has been moved slightly since the last recorded visit, but is in the same general location and the carvings are face-up. It is now slightly further away from the pedestrian path and surrounded by lavender plants so is unlikely to be used as a seat. Unfortunately there is no information plaque and hundreds of people pass this by without knowing if its importance or beauty. The exact grid ref is SE 59968 52096: on the right of the main path from the Lendall entrance to the gardens to the museum front door, and quite close to the museum itself.
