A close up of what is probably the most well-known example of ‘prehistoric’ rock art on Rowtor Rocks. To get this image I had to employ the trick of wetting the stone to emphasis the otherwise faint play of light and shade.

This feature, located on a rock at Rowtor a level down to the north of the ‘armchair’, is notoriously difficult to photograph owing to its extremely worn condition. This image is the best I have been able to achieve to date, and is from sufficiently far away to illustrate its location to those seeking to find it for the first time.

Standing at the centre of SM III, looking through the southern entrance across the heathered slopes, the line appears to be aligned exactly on the Gorse Stone in the distance. You have to be tall to see this, however, and the heather low.

This is the Heathcote ‘marker’ stone for SM III (T56), left by the Heathcotes after their excavations at this site. It lies at the southern entrance near the eastern orthostat.
