This is part of the most extensive group of prehistoric rock carvings in Scotland. The most common motif is a hollow or cup surrounded by up to seven rings, often with a gutter running from the cup outwards. Other figures include spirals, multiple rings, peltas, ringed stars and parallel grooves.
This wide shot shows the upper sheet of exposed bedrock looking to the main road and the Crinan Canal running across the top of the picture. The cup and ring and spiral carvings extend all the way down this sheet and continue lower down where more carved bedrock is exposed.

This site is managed by Historic Scotland and is freely accessible via a path from the dedicated carpark signposted from main road at the Cairnbaan turn-off.
