What does Stan say about the Copt Howe rock art? Does he compare it with any of the Irish stuff? Because when I first saw it I got the impression that it's quite similar.

I'm wondering if there's a link between the Copt Howe axe factory and the one in Derry (forgets name, DOH!), which would be almost directly across the Irish Sea from it ....

Stan sez:

"Similarities between this kind of rock art with curvilinear designs in Ireland suggest a link across the Irish Sea, but it is not clear from which direction this was made."
