Ring Cairn in Perth and Kinross
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this cup marked stone - see their entry for Tombreck (10), Kenmore, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding this stone together with photographs and a description.
TNA adds: "Although this cup-marked rock has been known about for sometime by local people, it is one of many that are not in the archaeological record. It’s nothing like as impressive as some of its petroglyphic neighbours on the slopes of Ben Lawers, as this simple carving comprises of two well-defined simple cup-marks, and another two that appear to have been worked slightly into natural cracks in the rock. These two remain incomplete."
