To me, this looks identical to common or garden open air rock art, it is on one of the orthostats of the ruin of Carin W in front of Cairn T, similar markings are on other stones. This would obviously lead to the conclusion that the rock art is earlier, and not from the bronze age.


What is your theory Cian?
That the passage-tomb builders reused rock art that was lying about the countryside as part of a new culture? Would that mean that the passage tomb builders didnt create the art that adorns them?
(Not being smart actually quite the opposite.)
