Very effective technique for getting pictures of rock art. If the sun is not coming in from the right direction and grazing the carvings - use an off camera flash.

This photo also shows a diamond shape with similarity to the carvings at newgrange . It can be seen clearly between the swirls.

It is a clear shape, I never realised that this is a motif on the Newgrange stones, I just thought it was a bit of damage....
