Cup Marked Stone

There are cup markings on this stone,when you are approaching the stone you can vaguely see them but when you get nearer they become very difficult to see. I managed to get these photos but could not see any rings.

Heatheryhaugh Cup and Ring Marked Stone
AKA Mains of Creuchies
28/7/02
A massive boulder sits in the shadow of Parknuek and almost at the entrance to this field- 3 m long by 2.7 m wide. The westernmost face of the rock slopes down to the earth and on this face are approximately 15 cup markings- three of which possibly have single rings round them, though the surface is badly weathered making the markings very difficult to see.
