Looking NE towards Fortingall at the Bridge of Lyon prehistoric round cairn & cupmarked stone, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, UK. A grassed over Bronze Age burial cairn made of small stones surrounded by a ditch & outer bank; fragments of human bone were found within the cairn in 1884. A boulder c long x 1m wide, bearing nine cupmarks on its W side & one on the N end, lies in the ditch. The stone is probably connected with funerary use of the cairn, but the ditch is unlikely to have been its original position.
