Grange Cup and Ring Marked Rocks is a Bronze Age or possibly earlier rock art site located in Kirkcudbrightshire, southwestern Scotland. The site comprises natural rock surfaces decorated with cup and ring motifs, a form of prehistoric rock art widespread across Britain and Ireland during the Bronze Age, though some examples may originate in the Neolithic period. Cup and ring marks typically consist of circular depressions pecked into the stone surface, often surrounded by concentric rings and occasionally linked by grooves or channels. This type of artistic expression remains poorly understood, though the marks may have held ritual, territorial, or astronomical significance for prehistoric communities in the region.
