Turin Hill is a prehistoric rock outcrop in Angus, Scotland, notable for its cup-and-ring markings and associated Iron Age fort remains. The rock art comprises a series of deeply incised cups with concentric rings, characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age artistic expression, indicating use and significance at that early period. The Iron Age fort elements represent a later phase of occupation, demonstrating the strategic or territorial importance of the location across multiple millennia. The site thus preserves evidence of long-term human activity spanning from the prehistoric rock art tradition through to the Iron Age fortification period.
