That. is really sad, but thankyou Tiompan (so knowledgeable). To my completely ignorant eye the design looks like something a bit different, as well? I liked the way the little lone cup related to the wiggle in the line.

Perhaps the Eds will let me keep it for completeness? as Tormain Hill looks like a really interesting spot. Bastard landowners. Do you think it was really 'in the way' (depends on the location I guess)? do you think he just objected to knickerless lasses wriggling down it.
Luckily the other unvandalised rock art in the area should allow for it's continued inclusion . The site is now always under cultivation whereas the others are on the uncultivable higher ground . It wouldn't be the first rock to be blasted to make it a bit easier for the plough and maybe the it was the farmers wife who objected to the knickerless lasses so a possible family decision . Fort mentioning rock art ,great , it's a long time since I read him .There are a few examples of straight lines of cups ,see ,http://rockartuk.fotopic.net/c771851.html but the dog leg makes it even more interesting ,"you can't have a straight line , wer'e not geometers , leave that stuff to the Greeks " Also you say it had some folklore which is quite unusual.
