Cup marked rocks 60m NNW, 110m N and 135m NNE of Lurgan Steading is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises three separate rocks bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving consisting of simple circular depressions pecked into the stone surface. Cup mark rocks of this type are typically attributed to the Bronze Age, though their precise dating and ritual function remain subjects of scholarly debate. Such carvings are found across Scotland and represent one of the earliest forms of monumental art in the British Isles, though their specific purpose—whether territorial, ceremonial, or symbolic—has not been conclusively established.
