A number of rocks stand on the top of a small flat-topped hill, overlooking marshy ground. Several stones have a number of cup and ring marks. These carvings were probably created in the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The purpose of these carvings is not clear though they may have had a religious or ritual function (3).
