Corstorphine Hill Cup Marked Stone View all content for Corstorphine Hill

Monday 24/6/02 After reading about the other markings on the Ancient Lothian website we find ourselves up here on a Monday afternoon. I’ve given Kat the GPS at the car park and let her follow a route to the waypoint. Turns out the co-ords for the main group of cup markings are a bit off, but I remembered where they were and took 4 sets of readings (with an accuracy of between 4 and 6 metres). As it turns out, the other cup marks are not that difficult to see- I dunno how I didn’t spot them the first time we came up here- guess I was just so chuffed at finding the main group after almost giving up hope. Immediately to the east and up the hill from the main group are a group of 4 cup marks centred at NT2052874141. A large cup approx 15cm in diameter with the other three 7, 8 and 9 cm in diameter. Down the slope (northwest) is a single cup (possibly two?) at NT2052374144. This has a diameter of approx 15cm. To the southeast is another single cup at NT2052374136 with a diameter of approx 11cm.
