Whitehill Head

Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art

akas555 Aug 12, 2006

After an abortive attempt to find the rock art at Amersidelaw due to the density of the forest they’re in, my travels lead us to Whitehill head.

There are hundreds of stones scattered around this moor; and we started to think we wouldn’t find any of the several cup marked stones amongst them, but after a fair amount of looking we found only this one.
