Torrs 3 submitted by SolarMegalith : Torrs 3 - cup with two rings near the western edge of the panel (photo taken on June 2015). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Dumfries and Galloway

An outcrop decorated with cup-and-ring mark with two rings, cup with single ring and about 60 cup-marks. The panel is located just east of the footpath.

For more information on this prehistoric cup and ring marked rock see Canmore ID 63902 which adds that in 1971 the southernmost part of the rock was covered by gorse. By 1993 this had been removed and more of the outcrop ridge had been exposed. They found "about 58 extra single cups, one cup with tail, two cups with one (incomplete) ring, one cup with two rings, the very faint remains of a set of four or five rings (no central cup?) with a number of the single cups superimposed."
