Cochno Stone, Bronze Age rock art in Faifley, Scotland
The Cochno Stone measures 42 by 26 feet and contains 90 carved indentations, forming concentric circles and spiral patterns across its sandstone surface.
First documented in 1887 by Reverend James Harvey, this prehistoric carved rock panel resided openly until 1965 when authorities buried it to prevent vandalism.
The stone's cup and ring marks represent one of Scotland's largest collections of Bronze Age petroglyphs, offering insights into prehistoric communication methods.
Located in Auchnacraig Park, the stone remains buried under soil, with access to the site possible through the parking area on Auchnacraig Road.
Archaeologists from the University of Glasgow conducted a temporary excavation in 2015, revealing the markings for the first time in 51 years.
