General notes:
 
Maddison and Sellers (1990) report two more portables from West Horton (i.e. West Horton 7 and 8), both found in the walls of prehistoric settlements. One settlement, at NU 0150 3178, may be the location of the finding of a rock with a cup, three rings, and a diametric groove, now at West Horton Farm (West Horton 7). The other, also at the farm, is a stone with a single cup, which may have come from the same enclosure (West Horton 8). Further references to these settlements are Jobey (1964) and Hogg (1945).
 

Motifs:  Cup with groove cutting through multiple rings: at least 1 found

Art description:

A cup, three rings, and a diametric groove.
