Cochno Stone

The Cochno Stone is a large cup and ring marked rock at Auchnacraig, Faifley, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland,[1] next to the Cochno farm.

[2] It is also known variously as "Whitehill 1"[3]: 9  and "the Druid Stone".

[3]: 2 The Bronze Age rock art is found on a stone measuring 42 by 26 feet (12.8 by 7.9 metres), and was documented in 1887 by the Rev.

[3]: 3  It features around 90 carved indentations, considered to be one of the finest sets of petroglyphs in Scotland.

In 2015 it was partially re-exposed for investigation during a 3-day dig by a team involving archaeologists from the University of Glasgow,[5] with a more complete re-exposure following a year later.
