Close-up of the five-ringed beauty.

Before spraying with water – shows up better the natural colour of the stone.

Some good stuff here – all very clear. NS 85710 87969 on the GPS.

At the S end of the rock is a group of five motifs (including a 50 cm cup and five rings with a “budding” cup and two rings) and a further two are at the N end.

If approaching from the farm, they are roughy 100m from the gate on your right hidden behind a gorse bush on a shelf on the edge of the ridge. Just E of the telegraph wires.
