What is recorded here

In improved pasture field, on a SE-facing slope (179m OD). A very rough and fractured, prominent sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 3.70m NW-SE; 2.20m NE-SW; max. H 0.85m) with a rectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.45m NE-SW; 0.60m NW-SE) which is NW-facing. The rock art is very weathered and faint. The motifs consist of two cupmarks (diam. 3cm; D 4mm) off-centre to S. A triangular mark (dims. 5cm x 4cm; D 4mm) is located off-centre to W. Multiple pickmarks (diam. 5-10mm; D 4-5mm) of varying sizes, having no discernible pattern, occupy most of the decorated surface. A linear groove (dims. L 78cm; Wth 4-6 cm; D 7mm) extends (long-axis NW-SE) across surface of stone, to E, however this may be a modern marking. Two major rock fissures to N are enhanced by grass growing within.
