Rock Art in Perth and Kinross
This carved stone is recorded as Canmore ID 238573 which tells us: "This remarkable cup-marked stone has been incorporated into the basal course of a drystone dyke, the robbing of which has left it exposed. The stone has been trimmed along its N and S edges, presumably during the construction of the dyke, and it now measures 0.9m in length by 0.6m in breadth, its slightly convex upper surface rising 0.1m above ground. It bears about 70 cups, most of them arranged in a series of nine closely-spaced rows across the breadth of the stone. The cups measure up to 60mm in diameter and 20mm in depth."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this cup marked stone - see their entry for Tombreck (07), Ben Lawers, Kenmore, Perthshire which gives directions for finding the stone, together with photographs and a description. TNA describe this as "a damn good carving and well worth checking out."
