Description I was shown this carving by a man who's undertaken an extensive and detailed survey of the rock-art of the region. He asked me not to reveal it's exact whereabouts. The carving isn't recorded as far as I'm aware. It shows a groove and cup marks, with a faint groove encircling them. I thought it very reminiscent of a rudimentary 'face'.

How big is the large 'cup mark'? It appears to be quite large. There is certainly one ring mark around it, but is there not also a possible second faint ring mark outside this, just visible to bottom right.

oh go on Dave, you can tell me. You don't have to reveal its 'exact location', within 100 meters or so will do though ;-) Do you know if its been relocated, the carved rock looks to be sandstone, where as the one to the right doesn't?

The one in the background looks rather smooth and flat too.
