PPS What's the closest recorded cup-and-ring/rockart to these?


There are cups at Fyfield , on sarsen ,but the rock found at Knowlton is probably the nearest with rings too . Came Down barrow has two rocks with rings ,still in situ .


In other words, a bloody long way then?

Better go look for these others a bit sharpish, though I believe they are claimed to be cups only, which means I won't be able to verify either way.

"Mum, have you got that camera...?"


When you consider that the majority of the west country examples tend to have come from burial associations i.e. not free standing ( see these for some buried limestone oddities http://rockartuk.fotopic.net/c908223.html ) or possibly much later due to metal tooling then it's Wales or Peak district you are looking at for something close to Kent .
