Cup - & ring Markings
Rough tongue of Bombie
The field known as the Rough
tongue of Bombie occupies the
angle in a bifurcation of the road about 1/2 m. [mile]
to the E [East] of Bombie The existence of the sculp:
:turings is noted in the Proceedings of the Society
of Antiquaries of Scotland Vol [Volume] XXIX by Mr. J.R.
Coles who describes their position & also illustrates
them reduced to one twelfth. His survey was
made in 1895 and as I was unable to find
them it is possible that they have been overgrown
since then.

Marks

are to be seen on an exposed face of rock about

is exposed for a distance of 97' facing WNW. [West North West]
and with a trend from NNE. [North North East] to SSW. [South South West] Over
the greater part of the exposed surface
are to be found sculpturings consisting
of cups and rings separately and in
combination, the peculiarity of the group
being the free use of the cup marks.
The most remarkable figure occupies
an oblong piece of rock measuring 3' 2"
by 2' slightly arched in the direction of its length. Some:

mark consisting of a larger cup nearly 4"
