Wow Nickbrand, thanks for that info on the new rock art

I looks very clear - are those pickmarks I can see?
I have asked a couple of locals about it, I should be visiting soon!!!

.o0O0o.

Doug Spiers, the local county archaeologist, hasn't commented on these yet but did say the incomplete one may give people a much better idea of how these were produced. It did look a bit (to me) as if they had been 'picked' out with a pointed stone or similar. The complete one isn't quite as smooth as some of the Kilmartin ones, but it's in a very sheltered spot and so may not have become as weathered as the Argyll and Perthshire ones. It's a beauty though isn't it?

Tis a vitrified fort too.
