That there are man made markings from pre-history that differs from rock art and ogham and is similar to the rock is not in doubt .The problem is showing that these markings belong to that category . I must say I'm not convinced but it would be too easy to overlook . Reply | with quote |  21st February 2008ce 12:42 In reply to: Re: I found some rock markings! (12pointer) |
