0026 - Cup marks

Cup marks are very common in Alentejo's prehistory and their meanings are still a mystery. They appear isolated or in clusters in outcrops, menhirs or passage graves monoliths. This granitic bloc, with an oval shape, is covered with these cup marks in a quite unique way. It is at the surface, inside Perdigões enclosure.
