We could have easily overlooked these cup and ring marked stones, as they are not marked on the OS Map. Initially we had headed off onto the north eastern part of the high moor, chasing every stone that peaked above the heather, and for no reward.
Frustrated, I resorted to Google, and found a fellow Blogger who was generous enough to give detailed instructions to the archaeological features. The stones can be found "in the rough" of the Golf Course just to the north of the Shepherd's Cottage.
However, on the day, our stones were found outside the perimeter fence of the Golf Course, between the fence and Iron Age settlement; between the fence and the Shepherd's Cottage. Phew!
In searching the rocky outcrops immediately behind the Shepherd's Cottage we also found a set of modern rock carvings.
