Cup and ring marked stone. Discovered in August 1997 when part of the former stackyard at Easter Denoon was levelled prior to the erection of grain stores. It is a sandstone slab, 0.54m in length, 0.46m broad and 0.15m thick. It bears eleven cup-marks, six of which are circular and measure up to 40mm in diameter and 18mm deep. The remaining five are oval and measure up to 95mm long. J Sherriff describes the decoration as follows: 'One of the circular cups is surrounded by three eccentric rings and partially surrounded by two others. A radial channel runs from this cup past two oval cups on the left edge of the stone. A second, broader, channel set roughly parallel to the first, extends from the central cup through all five rings to then run into an oval cup. Another of the circular cups is surrounded by three eccentric rings cut by a radial groove, and a third is accompanied by two fragmentary rings and a short length of radial groove'. Sherriff also believes that three phases of decoration activity can be detected. The stone now sits in the porch of the farmhouse.
