Larach Bhan is a cup marked rock situated approximately 1600 metres west-north-west of an unspecified reference point in Argyllshire, Scotland. The rock bears cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock art consisting of small circular depressions pecked into the stone surface. Cup marked rocks of this type are found across Scotland and northern Britain and are generally attributed to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, though precise dating remains difficult without archaeological excavation. The site's location in Argyllshire places it within a region known for concentrations of such prehistoric rock carvings, which may have held ritual, territorial, or symbolic significance for early communities.
