Rock Art in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)

Between the wonder that is Bryn Celli Ddu and the Llandaniel Fab menhir is the rocky out crop known as the Gorsedd , I'm sure we all know this but a little known fact is the Rock art on it.

It seems strange that no ones mentioned this before, perhaps they have and I just can't find it, so here goes.

Two groups of cup marks, a three cup group and a six cup group. Together with the burial chamber and nearby standing stones this is a remarkable site.
