    Very easy to find and a magnificent set. It would be a good place for proper excavations in front of the petroglyphs - the 'floor' - to look for any tools or other finds associated with the cup and ring panels.

    It is not listed, but a full size copy of the Dalgarven Mill lost 'cup and ring' has been made and placed in the grass at the front of the mill buildings. A pamphlet about it is also available. Dalgarven lies between Kilwinning and Dalry.
