Archaeological curiosities, Sandyway Heads

Uploader's Comments

Sitting beside the garden gate outside the farmhouse of Sandyway Heads [[5082290]] are the upper and lower stones of a rotary-type beehive quern (of possible Iron Age or Romano-British date) and a nice cup and ring marked stone (late Neolithic or Bronze Age). The marked triangular-shaped stone has a deep cup surrounded by three rings and a groove leading to a smaller cup on the upper side, and a single cup and short groove on the underside, and is considered likely to have been part of a burial cairn or cist. The farmer at Sandyway Heads told us it had originally been found in the rubble of the track leading from Ingoe to the farm, so its original location is unknown.
