Cup markings in Auchnacraig Urban Park

This rock has (in the area shown in this image) three conspicuous cup marks: two are close together, just below the centre of the image, and another one is to their right. All three happened to have some small shards of green glass in them, making their position more evident. This group of rocks also bears a number of smaller cup marks, some of them with rings. For further information on the cup and ring markings at this site, see: Image For context, see Image; the boulder that is referred to there as "stone A" is the one shown in the present picture.
