Hi I have added some pics of the stone I found on Llefn with some markings on it. I would very much appreciate your views on whether this is some form of rock art.

I was fiddling around with the camera as I didn't know which setting would show the marks the best. So although the colour makes it look like 2 different stones it is the same one.

The stone is high on the side of Llefn looking out across the sea towards Ynys mon. Very close to a hut circle. And at the site of a settlement.

Thanks Blossom , apologies for the negativity but imo it is not rock art in the Neolithic /BA tradiiton . Rectangles are not common but they do exist in conjunction with other markings and often natural "frames " are utilised too .
It's a pity that BRAC has gone as it was so easy to to link to examples from there .
