Fieldnotes
| After spending the hottest day of the year traipsing all over the moor, I was started to become a little jaded. We had passed a path down to the Cow and Calf Pub and my mind was on the prize - a pint. This was to be our last site of the day and to be honest with you I just wanted to get it done and head for the pub. When we got to the quarry site I stopped for a rest but Stu assured me that it was just up a wee hill and then we were done, so once again I dragged my weary arse up the path. At the top of the path the first carving came into view and then as I looked around.......JESUS! I just wasn't prepared for this. During the day Stu and I had discussed the many possible interpretations of the various motifs on the rocks of the moor. Stu had even identified a possible map on one stone. But these are beyond interpretation and the only thing we could come up with was ...shamanic. Stu had christened one of the carvings 'the waterboatman' which fits it perfectly. If you only have time to visit one set of carvings make sure these are the one. |
