INTERPRETATION of the rock art - reading from left to right, difficult and only preliminary: -
There appears to be a group of two plus three which I consider would be Sunday + Moonday, then Wodensday+ Thorsday + Freyrday, the five day week of the Stonehenge calendar. An arc of eight in the mid centre could be the eight festivals - Summer, Harvest= Llew, Autumn, Samain = Halloween, Winter, Imbolc, Spring, Beltane. May I help the interpretation by a plan view to scale please. It could possibly be a Sun calendar stone.

"...left to right..."
Why not top to bottom? Why not clockwise around the edge, spiraling to the center?
That's some hat you've got there, Mr. Thomas...
