Glasserton Cup and Ring Marked Rocks is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Wigtownshire, south-western Scotland. The rocks bear cupules and concentric ring carvings, a form of prehistoric rock art widely distributed across Britain and dating to the Bronze Age, though some examples may have earlier origins in the Neolithic period. Such markings, whose precise ritual or practical purpose remains debated among scholars, represent important evidence of Bronze Age activity and territorial expression in south-western Scotland. The site's survival and recording contribute to understanding the distribution and chronology of cup and ring marked rocks across the region.
