Rock Art in Perth and Kinross
This cup marked stone is recorded as Canmore ID 289069 which tells us: "This earthfast boulder, lying in pasture about 100m N of a modern sheep fank, measures 1.4m by 1m and 0.6m in height. It bears two cupmarks and a further two possible cups along its NNW edge, the largest measuring 70mm in diameter and 20mm in depth."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also feature a page for this stone - see their entry for Tombreck 01, Kenmore, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding this stone together with photographs and a description. TNA adds: "This is a reasonably large boulder near the top of the hillock above the trackside. Several rocks have what may be single cup-markings on them, but this roughly oblong-shaped block has four or five of them running along the more northern edge of the stone, in a rough line sloping gently down the surface of the rock. No carved rings or other lines were immediately notable here. It’s nothing special to look at and will probably be of interest only to the hardcore petroglyph enthusiasts amongst you. However, there are many more ornate cup-and-rings found further along the ridges close by (which we’ll add as the weeks and months go by); as well as the remains of a prehistoric enclosure about 200 yards southeast. The small standing stone of Carie is roughly the same distance to the south."
