Cup stones are not rare on the Eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. They all have approximately the same dimensions. They are considered precious enough testimonies of the past for some of them to be now preserved in museums. That said, I could only list a dozen of them.
This particular stone lies at the bottom of a ravine, inside a wood in a thinly populated area. Once you have found the ravine, you'll find the stone, about 15 m from the edge of the wood.
Overall diameter : 1,30 m ; the height is difficult to assess, as the stone is dug in the ground.
Hole diameter 55 cm ; the depth is 10 cm on average.
Note the elaborate bottom of the hole.
