What is recorded here

Situated on the SW slope of a ridge, above the River Avonmore with restricted views. A large granite boulder (L 1.1m; Wth 0.7m; T 0.65m) with 13 cup marks (diams. 6-7.5cm; D 1-2cm) on one face of the stone. On another face of the stone is a bullaun-like bowl (diam 11cm; D 4cm). The stone is presently sitting on its side, amongst a dump of other boulders. Described and sketched by Price in October 1931 (Corlett & Weaver 2002, Vol. 1, 120-1) with the large bowl on the top of the stone, and the cup marks were on one side indicating that it has been moved slightly.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the rock art at Ticlash may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to territorial markers, celestial observation, or local folklore associated with the landscape.
