Braeval Farm, cupmarks 260m NNW of, is a collection of prehistoric rock carvings located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site consists of cupmarks, which are small, roughly circular depressions pecked or ground into the rock surface, a form of rock art found widely across northern Britain and dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods. Such cupmarks, often occurring in clusters on exposed bedrock or stone surfaces, remain among the more enigmatic expressions of prehistoric ritual or territorial practice, their precise function and dating remaining subjects of scholarly debate. The survival of these marks depends heavily upon the resilience of the underlying stone and the site's protection from erosion and disturbance.
