On a large boulder just below the summit of Ladybower Tor are two very worn carvings. One is a double ringed oval the other a swastika in a 30cm ring ( the swastika is about half the size ).

I've never managed to get a photo worth posting because they are both so worn; Which also makes them a bit of a pain to find.

The Northern most, known rock art in The Peak.
