What is recorded here
Situated on SW facing slope of the Little Sugar Loaf mountain just below the ridge of the mountain, rock outcrop (WI008-075----) decorated with double-spiral motif 120m to N. Rock outcrop the surface of which bears a sun-motif consisting of an incised circle with line radiating out to form a sunburst motif. Beneath this there is a wavy or serpentine-shaped line. No evidence of pecking in the carving which suggests that it is possibly post-1700 in date. Possible post-1700 graffiti. The antiquity of these carvings appears to be modern and could have been carved in recent times.
