According to my hasty googling, the Rev E died in 1717 and the first open air RA in Britain wasn't recognised as ancient until1826 (ish), so if the good reverend had made the carvings at Rowtor, or had them comissioned, it would only deepen their mysterious nature, as how the heck would he have known over 100 years before anyone knew the things he was copying existed? That would be proper weird :) Ah, but if Mr Eyre had an interest in all things rocky couldn't he have seen such designs himself before and copied them for the benefit of his friends whom it's said he took up there to entertain. I just find it strange that Rowtor is full of "art" and it's neighbour just a couple of hundred yards away apparently has nothing, Eyre did live by the bottom or Row-tor, very conveniently for him.
