At NS 5115 7386 is a cup and ring marked rock (information from J G Scott, Kelvingrove Museum), partially covered with moss and heather, so that the whole surface could not be examined. There is a cup with 4 concentric circles 0.3m diameter, and another, a cup with two concentric circles, measuring 0.2m diameter, the two ring marks almost abutting each other. The markings are very much weathered.
Visited by OS (W M J) 28 June 1951.
These cup and ring marks are as described above. The rock also bears at least 3 other single cups.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
