Derybruich

Cup and Ring Marked Rock (prehistoric)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Derybruich as Cup and Ring Marked Rock (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Derybruich is associated with Saint Derry, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary who is said to have founded a church in the area. The site's name, derived from "Derry's spring," reflects a tradition linking the well to healing waters, though specific folklore or recorded cures are not well documented.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
