Dunno about the latter two, but the Goatscrag deer are aren't definitely prehistoric are they? I thought there was some question about their age. Though they look very 'Rupestrean' to me, similar to those I've seen in photos of the Galician ones. Stick figures really.

The Goatscrag stick-deer were on the telly last week, on a replay of the episode of Coast that has the Howick Mesolithic house on't.

Not a patch on the lovely Eggerness beastie though.

There is every chance that none of them are prehistoric along with "deer/doe /hinds" at Ballochmyle . No way of telling other than stylistically . I find the Eggy "domino" motifs fascinating and have only seen the drawings . Wondered if they were mini cups .
