Log Text: It is some kind of miracle that these cup carvings were discovered in a rocky field c. 0.5 mile N of Bardristane Farm: Maarten van Hoek was systematically searching for Rock Art on Bardristane in 1993 when he found these eroded cup carvings. They are unimpressive but they exist as remnants of ancient people.
