Archaeology Notes

NR89SW 4 8377 9356. NR 837 936. A cup and ring mark is situated on the NE side of Dunadd, overlooking the present farm and the cottage E of the site, c. 40' above the latter, and is passed if the NE route of ascent is used. A single cup, 2" in diameter, is surrounded by a roughly pecked ring, average diameter 11", carved on a rough surface and only visible in favourable conditions. There is also a single cup, 5" x 7" x c. 3" deep, cut on the flat surface of smooth rock below the S entrance to the main enclosure and on the lowest natural terrace on S of the hill. Source: M Campbell 1965. NR 8377 9356: The markings on the rock to the NE are indistinct and similar to natural marks in the area. Not an antiquity. The single cup could not be located though its size is more suggestive of a "knocking stone". Visited by OS (DWR) 26 April 1973.
