Carnasserie Farm cup-marked rock is an ancient rock surface bearing a series of cup marks located approximately 360 metres east-north-east of Carnasserie Farm in Argyllshire, Scotland. Cup-marked rocks represent one of the earliest forms of rock art in Britain, typically dated to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, though the precise chronology remains uncertain. The rock surface itself displays the characteristic shallow, circular depressions that define this monument type, evidence of prehistoric peoples' engagement with the landscape. Such cup-marked stones occur across Scotland and northern Britain, and whilst their exact purpose remains debated by scholars, they may have held ritual, territorial, or symbolic significance within prehistoric communities.
