Ketley Crag Rock Shelter and Rock Art. The floor of the overhang is 2.5m long and 1.60 m at its widest. There is certainly a prime case for calling the decoration of this outcrop ‘art', for the people who pecked the motifs onto the rock were sensitive to the whole surface that they wished to use, taking into account all the slight variations that were presented to them.

There is nothing better looking than this... lots of other impressive cup and ring carvings on the walk over from Chatton Hill.
