aye, tis a beautiful little carving.

Well smart, most unusual and interesting.

>In PRAoWR, B&V quite rightly refer to it as a mini 'Tree of Life' rock
I reckon it's also quite like a more complex version of the 'TV set' Beckensall recorded at Amerside Law in Northumberland.

I never fails to amaze me how such a limited repetoire of elements can be recombined to produce so many different motifs.

Very impressive! Forgive an ignorant southerner who knows nothing about rock art, but how do you date it and to what period do you ascribe it? I do know a little about stone carving and I would suggest that such carvings were made by pounding and grinding with stone rather than cutting with metal.
