Glenmoine is a cup and ring marked rock located in Argyllshire, Scotland, approximately 200 metres north-north-west of Glenmoine. The rock belongs to the Bronze Age period, when such carvings were executed across Britain and Ireland, typically dating between 3000 and 1500 BCE. Cup and ring marks consist of circular depressions carved into rock surfaces, often surrounded by concentric rings, and their precise purpose remains debated amongst archaeologists, though ritual or territorial significance has been proposed. The Glenmoine example contributes to the considerable concentration of such rock art found in Argyllshire, a region particularly rich in prehistoric carved stone monuments.
