Looks similar to one of the motifs at Ballochmyle. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/img_fullsize/38157.jpg	Posted by rockartwolf 4th April 2009ce


Thanks Brian! Yes, Ballochmyle is the site of the "Ringed Stars" or Sun-Flower-like carvings. They are also found -in a smaller version- at Poltalloch (Argyll & Bute). There are at least three of these motifs at Ballochmyle in different variations: http://rockartuk.fotopic.net/p57301445.html They are more common in the Passage Grave Art of Ireland. Thanks to George for pulling the right piece of turf! Cheers, Jan	Posted by rockartuk 4th April 2009ce
