Cup-marked stone, Tregiffian burial chamber, RCM

This cup-marked stone was moved from the site at Tregiffian for safe-keeping and display at the [Royal Cornwall Museum](https://www.royalcornwallmuseum.org.uk), Truro. There are potentially as many as 47 cup marks on this stone. Some of the larger 'jellybean' depressions appear to have started out as two separate cup marks which have been joined together. Slight depressions of the original cup marks can still be seen on some of them. Whether these represent re-working of existing cup marks, or were simply a method for creating the jellybean shape, is difficult to tell. A replica of this stone has been installed in the original location at Tregiffian burial chamber in West Penwith.
