Does that show that the rock art is neolithic, though? It clearly demonstrates that the stone had significance in the early neolithic but the rock art may have come later, don't you think.

My own view, of course, is that cup-marks were made by tiny flying saucers in the Jurassic, and that this is why these stones caught our early neolithic ancestors' eyes.

hhhmmmm...

I think, if the rock-art extends below ground level to a layer where the Neolithic finds are made then it might say that.

This was hinted at by a friend, so pehraps ...

The sites are on two rows of low mounds that are basically erath covered rocky outcrops. The careved stones are bedrock that protruddes from the soil. It reminded me of a couple of serpents' backs, complete with dorsal spines running across the landscape.
