Keppochan cup marked stone is an ancient rock carving located in Argyllshire, Scotland, approximately 600 metres east-south-east of Keppochan. The stone bears cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock art consisting of small circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, which are characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual or territorial marking practices in Scotland. Cup marked stones remain amongst the most enigmatic monuments of prehistoric Britain, with their precise chronology and function still debated by archaeologists, though they are generally attributed to the later Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods. The site is recorded in the Historic Environment Scotland record system under INSPIRE reference SM4186.
