Broch, rock shelter and cup marked rocks, 165m W of Leckie House is a prehistoric rock shelter and associated cup-marked stone monuments located in Stirlingshire, Scotland. The site comprises a natural rock shelter together with rocks bearing cup-and-ring marks, a form of rock art typical of the Bronze Age and earlier periods in Scotland. Cup-marked rocks represent one of the earliest forms of permanent artistic expression in Britain, with examples dating from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The combination of natural shelter and decorated stone surfaces suggests the site held significance for prehistoric communities, whether for habitation, ritual practice, or ceremonial purposes, though the exact chronology and function of this specific location remain subjects for archaeological investigation.
