Rock Art in Perth and Kinross
Rock art around the nearby Croft Moraig stone circle is recorded together with information on the stone circle on Canmore ID 24891, who in turn reference Megalithics Website for photographs of the rock art.
This particular cup and ring marked rock, which contains around 19 cups, is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their page for Croft Moraig Carving (01), Kenmore, Perthshire. Their page gives directions for finding the boulder, together with photographs, a 1910 drawing, references and a brief archaeology and history.
