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]Шаблон:Rp and "the Druid Stone".[3]Шаблон:Rp

The Bronze Age rock art is found on a stone measuring Шаблон:Convert, and was documented in 1887 by the Rev. James Harvey.[3]Шаблон:Rp It features around 90 carved indentations, considered to be one of the finest sets of petroglyphs in Scotland.[4]

The stone was reburied in 1965 to protect it against vandalism. 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.[6]
