High Banks Farm cup and ring marked rocks are a Bronze Age rock art site located in Kirkcudbrightshire, south-western Scotland. The marked stones display cup and ring motifs, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period in Britain and Ireland, typically dating between approximately 3000 and 1500 BCE. Cup and ring marks consist of circular depressions pecked into rock surfaces, often surrounded by concentric rings, and their precise function remains a matter of scholarly debate, though they may have held ritual, territorial, or astronomical significance. The Kirkcudbrightshire examples form part of a wider distribution of such rock art across Scotland and northern England, providing evidence of Bronze Age cultural expression and land use in this region.
