Meall Odhar is a cup-and-ring marked rock located in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 880 metres south-west of a designated reference point. The rock bears prehistoric cup-and-ring markings, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period in Scotland, though such carvings may span a broader temporal range from the Neolithic through to the Iron Age. Cup-and-ring marks consist of circular depressions pecked or carved into the rock surface, often surrounded by concentric rings, and represent one of the most distinctive forms of prehistoric rock art in northern Britain. This example contributes to the archaeological record of ritual, territorial, or symbolic practices among prehistoric communities in the Highlands and Tayside region.
