Rock Art in Perth and Kinross
This cup and ring marked rock is recorded as Canmore ID 29140, an extract of which reads: "Situated on the SE flank of Drumderg, this roughly kite-shaped boulder (1.9m NW-SE by 1.7m) bears at least twenty-eight cup marks on its sharply-sloping SW-face. Two of the cups are surrounded by triple rings (or parts of) and there is a double or oval cup (100mm by 70mm) which is partially encircled by four rings; in addition four or five cups have single rings."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this stone - see their entry for Drumderg I, Tullymurdoch, Perthshire which adds that "this heavily weathered cup-and-ring marked boulder lies 150m south of the hut circles" and the stone was found amidst a cluster of other prehistoric sites in the Forest of Alyth.
