Cup marked stone (Whitton and Tosson)
A rock with several cup marks stands immediately above the steep bank of a small stream. The rock, which is a natural outcrop, has a cluster of at least five cup marks. These carvings probably date to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Their purpose is unknown though they may have a religious meaning. This is a Scheduled Monument protected by law.
