The dimensions of a cup-marked stone: length 1.25 m, width 1.10 m, height 0.45 m, circumference 3.90 m. Light red gneiss with average crystals. The stone, most likely, lies in its original place because in relation to the slope it has settled horizontally with its flat surface upwards which suggests that the stone has not been moved. Together with the cup-marked stone next to this one they form a single ancient site.
Narrative
On the naturally even surface of the stone one can see two qualitatively made cavities and several possible cavity places which are eroded and unclear. The biggest of the cavities is 5 cm in the diametre, 0.5 cm deep, the other, smaller one, — 3.5 cm in the diametre, 0.3 cm deep. It is surprising that the newly found cup-marked stone has still survived – on its surface there are six places of carving which means that somebody has tried to split the stone, however, the job was given up and left at the last minute before splitting.
The cup-marked stone was discovered during the Cult Identity project expedition on 29 March, 2012. A potential archaeological monument together with Pērkoni 1st and 2nd Cup-Marked Stone which all together form a complex. It is very significant that on the opposite bank of the Sventāja River there is another remarkable cup-marked stone – the richest in cavities cup-marked stone in Lithuania.
