I'm sure there's a Roman fort/signal station nearby which was obviously plundered! So, yes, Crichton is post-Roman. However, there are many others which I believe are genuine IA (older?) such as Pitcur in Perthshire which has, within it, two cup and ring marked stones; http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]ite/604/pitcur_souterrain.html There are many otheres with cup/ring carvings, now, whether these were re-used stones of carved in-situ I guess we'll never know... The marked rocks in souterrains like others found in association with brochs , homesteads , hill forts are almost certainly all re-used . The situation of the stones in many cases make would make it unlikely that they were carved in situ . BTW there are four marked rocks at Pitcur with a possible fifth .
