Craiglea ring-marked boulder is a Bronze Age rock art monument located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The boulder bears cup-and-ring markings, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period, which demonstrates the artistic and symbolic practices of early metalworking communities in northern Britain. Ring-marked boulders of this type served ritual or territorial functions within their landscape, though their precise purpose remains uncertain. The monument's survival and recording contribute to understanding the distribution and nature of cup-and-ring art across northeast Scotland.
