Going round in circles

A really clear example of one of the rings of the cup and ring formations found near Routin Linn waterfall in North Northumberland. An earth mound encircles a large hill-fort with a rocky outcrop with numerous cup and ring markings.

 

Apparently there are over a thousand examples of prehistoric art in Northumberland dating back to Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages between 6000 and 3500 years ago.

There's a comprehensive and fascinating article on prehistoric rock art at www.bradshawfoundation.com/british_isles_prehistory_archi...
