Many panels of rock art visible from here, and what looks like a prehistoric track, still slightly discernable under the modern landscape, though not really visible on this pic.
It’s a fairly straight track, and if extrapolated, would end up pretty much on the horizon, in the middle of this image.

Piper’s Cair more visible in this image, but in direct sunlight, the motif is not. It’s just to the side of the gps device.

These carvings don’t seem to be C&R style, and hence are suspected to be of more recent date.

These carvings used to be there, but apparently they’re now gone. Weathered away to nowt.

I’m not sure where exactly on Dod Law this one is. Could be the enclosure site, could be in the hillfort ramparts, or could be now lost.
