Copt Howe carvings

close

Me and WNH got ourselves off down to Chapel Stile yesterday, he'd never seen the carvings before.

He found some carvings on the other side of the wall, on the same face of the same boulder as the main one.
Got some great pics, will be posted later today hopefully.

We couldn't find anything on Magic, but that might not mean anything (but it id say about another boulder, which we missed... doh!)

Anyway, looking back, I was there last year and took this:
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/29478
Which shows it quite well too (if you squint)
I've had a quick look around and can't find anything with this part of the stone detailed... although I can't for the life of me lay my hands on my Cumbria RA Stan book just now... gawd knows where I put it .

Anyhoo... anyone got any idea about them please?
Definitely some carvings there / rings around possible natural cups.
Question is ... are they recorded anywhere else?

Also, while we're at it, we came past Elterwater village and in the middle of the marshy bit outside the village there was a cairny-looking thing, couldn't find anything on magic about it, any idea if this is real? Anyone know what I'm talking about? :P

I've got a sneaking suspicion that I've seen a drawing of carvings on that side. It wasn't in the Stan book though, I haven't got it. It might be in there though. I think it may have been in a paper Dr M showed me. I reckon if you gave Aron an e-mither he'd know.

Just gonna go check the map to see if Elterwater is the place where Jac always says there's 'a thing over there'.
