The Cochno Stone

Kenny Brophy / The Urban Prehistorian writes: In 2015 we opened up a trial trench to examine a prehistoric site, on the fringe of Glasgow, that was buried 51 years ago beneath a 1m layer of soil and turf. The site is called the Cochno Stone and it is one of the most spectacular and extensive panels of prehistoric rock-art in Britain. In 2016 the Cochno Stone was uncovered for a few days and received some well deserved media attention. It has since been re-covered so is not currently visible. In future it is hoped to be able to fund a replica on site.

The Cochno Stone (NMRS: NS57SW 32), West Dunbartonshire, is located at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills on the north-western edge of Glasgow, in an urban park in Faifley, a housing estate on the north side of Clydebank. It is one of up to 17 panels of rock-art in this area but by far the most extensive. The outcrop measures some 13m by 8m, is covered in scores of cup-marks, cup-and-rings marks, spirals and other unusual motifs. The surface is undulating, sloping sharply to the south, and is a ‘gritstone’ or sandstone.

In 1964 it was sealed, buried, put beyond use and rendered inaccessible. By archaeologists. For its own good.

This rock-art splattered outcrop, rich with cups, cup-and-rings marks, spirals and two four-toed footprints was deemed, in the 1960s, to be under threat from the urban expansion of Glasgow. The Council-built estate of Faifley, now in West Dunbartonshire Council, encroached almost to the Cochno Stone itself. Too close apparently...

My excavation is being carried out in collaboration with Spanish heritage company Factum Arte and the film-maker May Miles Thomas (director of the wonderful film The Devil’s Plantation). The plan is to make a super high resolution laser scan of the Stone once the topsoil has been removed, and then recreate an exact replica of the Stone, to sit in situ once the real Stone has been buried again. This is a very exciting project and it was a privilege to be one of the first people to see the Stone since 1964.

The Cochno Stone
The Cochno Stone submitted by Antonine : from University of Glasgow In 1937, archaeologist Ludovic Mann painted the rock-art panel in bright coloured oil-paints. He believed prehistoric people carved symbols on the rock to show how they predicted eclipses and so defeated the monster that ate the sun. Visitors flocked to the site and damaged the stone, so it was buried in 1965 to protect it. (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

The Cochno Stone and Faifley Rocks! online talk with Kenneth Brophy by Andy B on Tuesday, 04 May 2021
(User Info | Send a Message)
The Cochno Stone wa the subject of last month’s University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute online seminar.

Faifley, West Dunbartonshire, has one of the richest concentrations of cup-and-ring marks in central Scotland, all on the urban fringe. The most significant site here is the Cochno Stone, a large sandstone outcrop with hundreds of symbols carved onto it – from the Neolithic rock-art through to 20th century graffiti.

The Cochno Stone.
The stone was buried by the heritage authorities in 1965 due to damage caused by visitors but was briefly uncovered in 2016, which revived interest in the other rock-art sites in the area.

This led to a project called Faifley Rocks! – a collaboration between Knowes Housing Association and the University of Glasgow, with many other local partners and schools becoming involved through time.

In the talk, Dr Kenny Brophy, a senior lecturer in archaeology at Glasgow University, describes the story of the Cochno stone and the social value of the rock-art to the Faifley community. Dr Brophy is interested in the contemporary relevance of prehistory, and how prehistoric sites, ideas, and things are consumed and utilised in our contemporary society.

Faifley Rocks excavations 2019 by Andy B on Monday, 25 November 2019
(User Info | Send a Message)
This is a summary account of the excavations at Whitehill 3, 4 and 5 rock art panels between 13th and 19th August 2019. This report was written with co-director, Yvonne Robertson. This is a brief and provisional account, with a more detailed publication to follow in the future.

Faifley Rocks! is a project researching prehistoric rock art sites to the north of Faifley, Clydebank, West (and as it turns out East) Dunbartonshire, using excavation, survey, oral history and archival research. The largest rock art site in the area, the Cochno Stone [see nearby sites list], has received the most attention, but sits within a small group of c 16 rock art panels. Some of these sites were identified in the late nineteenth century, others through more recent fieldwork, but no comprehensive work has been done on any of these sites since Ronald Morris’s fieldwork in the 1960s and 1970s.

This was the second excavation as part of the project, following work at Auchnacraig in June 2019. The summary report of this excavation includes some more background on the project here.
https://theurbanprehistorian.wordpress.com/2019/08/12/faifley-rocks-ac19/

Whitehill 2019 excavations

In August 2019, excavation took place around three of the rock art sites in the area, sites known as Whitehill 3, 4 and 5 in Scotland’s Rock Art Project (ScRAP) database. These outcrops are situated within a small area of woodland amidst arable fields immediately to the northeast of Whitehill Farm and north of Law Farm on a prominent landscape position with extensive views to the south. The outcrops are sedimentary, being gritstone or sandstone. They are located around NS 5138 7403 and are listed in Canmore.

Two of these sites were first recorded in the 1960s by Morris unlike the Auchnacraig sites which were first documented in the late nineteenth century. Morris documented these in his 1981 book The prehistoric rock-art of southern Scotland (except Argyll and Galloway). The numbering system he used is slightly different to the system adopted here; we are adopting the ScRAP nomenclature.

Whitehill 3 is the most extensive of the panels and located on the edge of an escarpment. Morris called this site Whitehill 5 (as do we!). It was initially briefly documented in the Morris and Bailey gazetteer (1967, 161) as a hilltop or break of slope location decorated with 25 cups and a few cups-with-rings.

I'm told there are plans for an 'open day' at Cochno on 18th August - more on that soon - although I imagine the stone won't be uncovered again. But will be good a good chance to meet the project participants including Kenny Brophy.

Vote for The Cochno Stone at Dig It 2017 by Andy B on Saturday, 17 June 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
COCHNO STONE

Over 5,000 years ago, people carved mysterious symbols into this rock outcrop. It is one of the largest rock art sites in Britain and there are at least seventeen other rock art sites in the surrounding area. In 1937, Ludovic Maclellan Mann painted the entire surface of The Cochno Stone with a multi-coloured grid to better demonstrate his belief that the symbols told a story of ancient mathematical and astronomical beliefs. The Cochno Stone was buried in 1965 to protect the surface and was recently uncovered to be digitally recorded before being covered over once again. When will the mysterious symbols make their next appearance?

DON’T MISS
Explore the nearby Auchnacraig Woodland Park and wander up to Cochno Hill while you ponder the meaning of this perplexing site.

WHAT KIND OF DAY OUT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Inspirational [Erm - really? - MegP Ed] The mystery of the Cochno Stone hasn’t yet been solved. Can you track down the meaning locked in the stone? Was Ludovic Mann on to something? Or is there a better (conspiracy) theory?

WHERE? West Dunbartonshire

Re: The Cochno Stone by Anonymous on Saturday, 13 May 2017
The brilliant architects who carved the cup marked stones around Scotland were very much more in touch with the planet than we are, and used the natural energies from volcanic faults and dykes to power the megalithic system of standing stones and circles - many of these sites are obviously on top of such volcanic anomalies. My Youtube presentation, I hope, will make this clear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTfCgoYq9Pc&t=2s

Dig Cochno 2016 summary report by Andy B on Friday, 25 November 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
Kenny Brophy writes: Between 5th and 22nd September 2016, the Cochno Stone was revealed, recorded and reburied. For 10 days the complete surface of the stone was completely exposed and visitors were able to see the rock-art and the paint and the graffiti on this magnificent rock dome for the first time in 51 years. Analysis of the data we collected during this period is ongoing and we will continue to disseminate results and images as we go forward.

The Cochno Stone, West Dunbartonshire, is one of the most extensive and remarkable prehistoric rock-art panels in Britain. It was however buried by the authorities in 1965 to protect it from ‘vandalism’ associated with visitors and encroaching urbanisation. A proposal has been developed to uncover the Stone, and 3D scan it, to allow detailed study of the stone, and an exact replica to be created and placed in the landscape near where the original site is.

Two seasons of excavation have now been carried out to enable an assessment of the condition of the Cochno Stone and gather high quality digital and photographic data for future analysis and replication of the Stone. This summary account is an archaeological report on the main 2016 season of excavation of the Cochno Stone, where the Stone was completely uncovered up to the edge of the modern retaining dry stone wall, recorded, and then buried once again.

Key discoveries include the survival of paint on the surface of the stone from the 1930s, the extent of modern graffiti, and the recovery of very high resolution digital data and photographic imagery of the complete surface of the stone. The third phase of the project, the creation of the replica and legacy activities, will follow on from phase 2 when funding is in place.

Prehistoric Cochno Stone unearthed near housing estate by Andy B on Wednesday, 07 September 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
A prehistoric stone panel said to be the "most important in Europe" is being unearthed for the first time in more than 50 years in Clydebank.

The Cochno Stone dates to 3000BC and is described as one of the best examples of Neolithic or Bronze Age cup and ring markings in Europe.

Located next to a housing estate, the stone was buried in 1965 to protect it from damage.

Excavation work started on Monday and is expected to last three weeks.

Archaeologists will use 3D-imaging technology to make a detailed digital record of the site.

They hope this will provide more information on the stone's history, purpose and the people who created it about 5,000 years ago.
Modern Graffiti

Dr Kenny Brophy, from Glasgow University, who is leading the dig next to Cochno farm, said: "This is the biggest and, I would argue, one of the most important Neolithic art panels in Europe.

The Cochno Stone exposed by Andy B on Sunday, 27 September 2015

Ken Brophy / The Urban Prehistorian writes: Between 7th and 9th September 2015, the Cochno Stone was revealed for the first time in 51 years - albeit only for 36 hours. The results of this small-scale excavation are simple, yet exciting.

It is important that the results of the work we did, and the recommendations I am making for future work at the Stone, are made as widely available as possible. And so my full report on the excavation can be found below in this blog post.

The Cochno Stone: an archaeological investigation

Phase 1 report
Summary

The Cochno Stone, West Dunbartonshire, is one of the most extensive and remarkable prehistoric rock-art panels in Britain. It was however buried by archaeologists in 1964 to protect it from ‘vandalism’ associated with visitors and encroaching urbanisation. A proposal has been developed to uncover the Stone, and laser scan it, to allow an exact replica to be created and placed in the landscape near where the original site is. In order to do this, it was felt that an initial trial excavation should take place (Phase 1) in order to assess the condition of the Stone and the nature of its burial. This work was undertaken in early September 2015. The Cochno Stone was found to be buried less deeply than claimed, and the wall surrounding it appears to have partially collapsed or been pushed over. The Stone itself was uncovered and rock-art, as well as 20th century graffiti and damage to the Stone, was recorded. Recommendations for the next phase of the project can now be made and the future plans for the Stone opened up for dialogue.

I wonder if they will use the same tools to make the replica.
