Rock Art in Inverclyde
A Cup Marked Rock on the lower slopes of Colaouse Hill in the Greenock Moors.
These Cup Marks were first documented in 1970 by "F. Newall". He recorded five Cup Marks on a 'Grey Gneiss' boulder, SE of a 'D-shaped Enclosure' on the SE bank of Loch Thom - in an area known as Garvock (This is one of two Cup Marked Rocks in the area) Located near a small Burn in the fields behind the now derelict Garvock Farm, the hillside looks across the Southern end of Loch Thom to Crawhin Hill and Cornalees.
The boulder bears five Cup Marks in the form of a Cross, with a single Cup forming the "shaft". The Cups are roughly 50mm in diameter and 12mm deep
The boulder is situated situated approximately 212m above sea level.
