Narrative
One of the most significant cup-marked stones in Latvia. The number of cup marks is at least 223. The cup marks are mainly located on the E side (according to the current location) and in the E part of the top surface – approximately up to the middle. Among the cup marks there are several deep grooves which are best visible on the NE side of the stone. The first data about the stone were presented by Andžis Makbets in 1972, later it was studied by J. Sudmalis, V. Grāvītis and many other explorers. The stone has been described in various literature sources and in the press.
Around the stone there are small, withering sweet briar bushes, which now are more of a disturbance rather than decoration. In 2012 the stone is not yet under the state protection as an archaeological monument.
