Oops, yeah, it was megadread. Read every thread in one go and lost my place there.
3rd expanded view, rh panel, the "eyebrows" motif, looks similar to the others, is this the motif for water. ?
I'd say it looks like a motif for a spring or fountain rather than eyebrows or a face.
Some Druid groups go with the topography theory, or rather, a mix of that and the theory of the symbol stones being a kind of road sign listing services and interests found in the are they mark the boundary to. As such some would relate to, say, a temple or sacred well or whatever, and some to a famous person in the area. For instance, a serpent might mean there is a place of healing in the area you are entering. If you buy into that as a possibility, you quickly start to realise the stones may never be translated. The people or places they refer to might have left nothing behind as clues, and if it can't be shown to be a language common to all the stones, you can never be sure you are on the right track.
