cup and ring mark

Type of prehistoric carving found on stone monuments and portable objects. The markings appear to belong to the Bronze Age and are distributed over a wide geographical area, from India to Ireland. The variety of designs is small and may derive from a far greater range found on Neolithic (New Stone Age) passage graves.

The use or meaning of these markings is unknown. They are a form of prehistoric art.
