Scrap ID104 Canmore 65022 NT 55770 52230 Lammermuir Hills, Scotland
The location comprises undulating heather and grass moorland subject to muirburn with a number of small rocks and larger boulders. Survey within the wide area given by the Canmore grid reference revealed many boulders with features similar in size and shape to cupmarks but, on closer inspection, were common geological anomalies that appear to be frequent formations in the Lammermuir Hills (some examples are shown in the images for this record). Several rocks seem to have been moved from previously recorded cairns to form a nearby circular sheepfold which includes a number of stones with circular depressions , one of which has been recorded in Canmore as a cup marked stone. Although it is not clear exactly which stone is the one recorded as the Borrowston Rig South stone, it is highly likely that the six ‘cupmarks’ noted in Canmore are natural features.
