That's a splendid and fulsome answer, wolfy, which begs the question... how do you know it's there in the first place? Do you sometime discover new pieces?!
This is a subject we may have covered when we met in Dumfries last year... sorry for being so daft

well if the truth ever got out that a giant lizard speaks to me and points me in the right direction, the world might think i was a nutter!
maybe that was a dream i had...anyhoo!
unfortunately i do not have a built in radar...so next best thing is research, books, and lastly but not least, getting out into the fields looking..quite often you will find new panels close to previously recorded carvings. The more you learn about rock art and the position of the carvings you start to work out where carvings should be, just by walking into a field.
You start to learn and read the signs, pale burnt grass in a field of green grass usually means outcrops under the pale patches, if that field has carvings, well you never know what could be under the pale patch!
do you look?...well of course you do!
of course you do need a little luck!
