I was standing behind Sara as that photograph was taken. It was May 30th not August 31, the place is called Thornhope not Low Thornhope Farm. There's a better piece about thirty yards away from this bit - but I didn't spot it until July. When (and where) is the rock froteurs' meeting ?

That photo looks reminiscent of a site you've posted Stonelifter. Compare this...

Obviously I'm talking about the wall rather than the rock art. The Beckensall archive describes the stones in the first photo as a "fossilised field wall, which is probably medieval in date".

Just an observation.
