Engagement with the upland archaeology and landscape of Cumbria and beyond. December 10, 2014. Gonna Take You Higher! So the remote Weather Stones on top of Boulsworth Hill came to mind, where I had found an eroded cup-and-ring, cups and grooves on a slab and at an altitude of over 500m this must surely be a candidate for the highest rock art in England! The sun begins to set – a crack between the worlds. Cold water glows gold. Now unlike the neighbouring Rombalds Moor, across the Aire Valley, this is a ...

And since I am intrigued by this subject in relation to Cumbrian cup-marks an...

Prehistoric Rock Art | mountains of meaning
https://mountainsofmeaning.com/category/prehistoric-rock-art
Engagement with the upland archaeology and landscape of Cumbria and beyond. June 16, 2016. Round rings of stone on the fellside. Bedded with bluebells, the ancient home. On terrace banked with rock. Pink Ennerdale Granophyre, ground round by glacier,. Dragged down from Dodds heights. Weathered to fertile soil. Now people return to the fold, above Scales Beck. The new-found steading, measured with laser and staff. Drawn with Derwent pencil. Whose core was once wadd from over the pass. Just now laid bare.
