Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings
Date Added: 4th Feb 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 5th Sep 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings submitted by rockartuk on 20th Aug 2001. On a fenced outcrop, 200m South of the farm (NX 362 447), R.W.B. Morris counted 84 cup-and-rings (1979). This photo was taken in 1993 with the carvings still clear. However, in 2000 the marks turned very faint. Acid rain? The question of preservation (after about 5000 years!) is now actual as well as urgent. How?

Log Text: This site would be best visited in low bright light. I visited on a dull evening after days of torrential rain. The field in which the outcrops stand was really boggy in places and the art was flattened by the lighting conditions.
