Wood Farm (Staffordshire)
Wood Farm (Staffordshire) submitted by UAS : Anyone seen rock markings like this before - circular cup with lines through, a bit like a naive star. 24 on this rock ledge at regular intervals, and others on surrounding ledges. Become more visible at different times of the day. A clock, seasonal measurement? Some obessive Victorian? Ideas? (Vote or comment on this photo)
David Denny writes: We are a local Archaeology group in North Staffs. We have what we think may well be some interesting Mesolithic structures - we don't really know - next Bank holiday weekend we are offering free access to join in a number of digs, to participate or just look.

Its a beautiful site in North Staffs (Wood Farm Bradley nr Alton Towers.) We also have space for free camping and there's a bbq on the Saturday night.

Whatever we have here (and there is a lot of unidentified structures, rock markings etc, including 140 million year old fossils which had us confused for a while! it will prove to be a very interesting weekend for anyone.)
Thanks
