Feadan is a cup-and-ring marked rock located near Perthshire, Scotland, in the landscape northwest of the settlement of Feadan. The rock bears prehistoric cup-and-ring markings, a form of rock art created during the Bronze Age, though such motifs may have origins extending into the Neolithic period. Cup-and-ring marks consist of shallow cupules surrounded by concentric rings pecked or ground into the rock surface, and their precise function remains subject to scholarly debate, with interpretations ranging from ritual significance to territorial markers or astronomical alignments. The site is recorded in the Historic Environment Record and forms part of the wider distribution of such rock art found across Scotland and northern Britain, representing an important component of Bronze Age material culture and artistic expression in the prehistoric landscape.
