From the Derbyshire HER (No. 15864):
..."A good example of prehistoric rock art that was exposed in 2012 on a low earth-fast boulder due to footfall erosion on a concession path on the Chatsworth Estate. It is of a design type common in areas further to the north, such as Northumberland and south-west Scotland, but there has been nothing quite like it found before in the Peak District National Park.
