Five of the cup-marked stones are of the hard granite and gneiss rock, while the sixth, and this is the first case established in Latvia – is from the rather soft limestone. The dimensions of the cups are rather standard: the diameter reaches 5 to 8,3 cm, and they are 0,5 to 2,7 cm deep. The six cup-marked stones bear in total 10 cup-marks: four of the stones bear two marks, while two – only one. The marks of the stones with four cup-marks are located on opposite sides. These cup-marked stones were also the first to be weighted in Latvia: smaller weighted 4,5 and 5,1 kg, while the two larger stone weighted slightly more than 10 kg.
No stories, nor legends are related to these cup-marked stones. The hill is without a particular name.
Highly valuable information in Aizkraukle Museum is provided by the researcher Lilija Jakubenoka.
