Overview

History & significance

Cup and ring marked stone, dun and farmstead 70m SW of Brae of Cultullich is an Iron Age settlement complex in Perthshire, Scotland, comprising a fortified dun alongside contemporary domestic structures and a prehistoric carved stone. The site exhibits the typical characteristics of Iron Age defended homesteads found throughout eastern Scotland, where such fortifications served both defensive and status-signalling functions for local communities. The presence of cup and ring markings on stone at the location indicates Bronze Age activity in the vicinity, suggesting repeated occupation or ritual use of the landscape across multiple prehistoric periods. The survival of both the structural remains and the carved stone provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding patterns of settlement, social organisation, and land use in Iron Age Perthshire.
