What is recorded here
Castleton 12 is a Neolithic and Bronze Age cup and ring marked stone in Stirling, Scotland. People chiselled small cups and wide rings into the rock, perhaps mapping stars, ownership or prayers before written language existed. The marks still hold that old human urgency, waiting for a hand to touch them and remember what the cups measured.
