PPS What's the closest recorded cup-and-ring/rockart to these?
T What has to be remembered is that Kent's prehistoric archaeology tends to lean towards Holland rather than Wessex, so any comparison with anything else in this country tends to be iffy.
And of course, they are older than the rest of the chambered tombs too...imagine, these could be the oldest recorded rock art in the country!
There is no way , yet , of dating RA in Europe so when you have an association all you can say is that the RA provides a terminus ante quem , if the association is secure In this case the rock bearing the possible markings
is not secure and the markings could have been engraved anytime between last week and ???? . BTW The Hunebedden don't have RA . Why do you consider it to be the oldest in the country ?
