Re: Fort na Maraid and adjacant cup marks (Lochgilphead) by Anonymous on Tuesday, 12 September 2017
Hi guys, we walk our wee dogs at Achnabrec everyday and often get asked where is the fort and thrid set of cup marks.

I'm assuming the the taller hillock by the main car park is the location of the forst? But where are the third set of cup marks?

These are the most often asked questions, a wee fort sign, 'You r here'? And/or an arrthird. Up marks thos way, do they even exist?

Cheers
