Cup marked rocks 605m SSW, 555m S and 545m SSE of High Grange is a Bronze Age rock art site in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. The site comprises three separate rocks bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric pecked decoration consisting of small hemispherical depressions made into the stone surface. Such cup mark motifs are widely distributed across northern Britain and are typically dated to the Bronze Age, though their precise chronology remains debated amongst scholars. The scattered distribution of the three marked rocks across the landscape, rather than their concentration in a single location, reflects patterns of Bronze Age symbolic activity in the region and the enduring presence of marked stones within the contemporary topography.
