Cup and ring marked boulder, 40m S of Treetops House, is a prehistoric rock art panel located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The boulder bears cup and ring markings, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age, though such carvings may have been produced over an extended chronological range in prehistoric Scotland. Cup and ring marks typically consist of circular depressions surrounded by one or more concentric rings pecked into the rock surface, and their precise ceremonial or practical function remains subject to scholarly debate. This example contributes to the known distribution of such rock art in northeast Scotland, an area of particular concentration for this class of archaeological monument.
