Rock Art in Stirling

This is one of several known Castleton cup and ring sites near Castleton Farm. Canmore lists the coordinates as N 56 04.365 W 003 50.437, but that takes you to the center of a field. North of those coordinates is a ridge covered in gorse which is where the site is at N 56 04.366 W 003 50.439. A cow path leads you through over the small ridge and into a very overgrown quarry marked by angular boulders. Following the coordinates a faint path leads you to a small opening in the gorse. The flat site is covered with moss and gorse needles. You can gently sweep away the duff with your hand to reveal what appears to be Canmores's Castleton 7a which has, “1 cup-and-nine rings with 7 radial grooves; three cups-and-4-rings, four cups-and-3 rings; four cups-and-2 rings; four cups-and-1 ring, and parts of other figures, also 12+ cups and several grooves.”
