What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Old Poltalloch as Cup Marked Rock (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Old Poltalloch is likely from the Neolithic or Bronze Age, based on the presence of cup marks, which are commonly associated with ritual or ceremonial activity in prehistoric Scotland. The site may have been used for symbolic or ritual purposes, though its specific meaning or folklore remains unrecorded.

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