Rock Art in Perth and Kinross
A boulder with complete cup-and-ring mark of 16 cm diameter.
Reference: Morris, R.B.W. 1981. The Prehistoric Rock Art of Southern Scotland. Oxford: B.A.R. (p. 62).
This cup and ring marked stone is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Mid Lix, Killin, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding this 'isolated petroglyph', a drawing of the stone and its motifs, photographs and a brief archaeology & history.
The stone is recorded as Canmore ID 24093, the original entry of which says: "A low, triangular, pyramidal stone, about 100 yards S of the railway and 20 yards E of the Glenogle road, has 21 cups on the W face, one ringed. D Haggart 1883."
A field visit from April 2016 updates this to read: "This cup and ring marked boulder is situated about 50m E of the A85 road on a low rise within a small clearing in recently harvested woodland. The stone is shaped like a triangular prism, measuring 1.4m by 1.4m by 1.6m at the base, and about 0.6m high. The triangular SSW face is dissected into two panels. The ESE panel bears 19 cup marks, and what may be a fragment of a ring at the upper right edge, while the WNW panel bears 6 cups and one ring."
