Central outcrop, Site 1, (Morris's Area D) of Achnabreck prehistoric rock art, Argyll, Scotland, UK: view SSW of a cupmark with radial grooves & concentric rings forming a 'ringed star' or 'spider's web' motif. The outer of the seven rings is around 1 metre across, making it one of the largest cup-and-ring marks in the country. There is a smaller cup with concentric U-shapes attached to, or 'budding from', the outer ring at the S.
