    Cup-marks, with or without surrounding rings, are among the most enigmatic signs which can be found widely across ancient European landscapes, most often in association with running water. Circular arrangements are one notable and recurrent feature, while straight lines and parallel rows are less frequently represented. The present stone most closely resembles the kind of feature found at e.g. Østergård, Risehøj, Østermarie on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea (Milstreu & Dodd, 2018, fig.15).
