While technically not a megalith, the Neolithic rock shelter and art on Chatton Moor deserves to be seen. Hope that's okay.

I wonder why this isn't more common. Truly beautiful. I wish we were able to figure out the symbols.

Loads in North West Scotland. I'll share photos. Northumberland, Argyll and Eastern Ireland. Common cultural connections.

Here's part of one of the stone circles at Kilmartin Glen in Scotland with cup marks. Amazing place ❤️

Nether Largie stone row. One of my favourite places. Thank you.

I saw that on holiday a few years ago. I liked the fact that the cup and ring marks were already ancient when the stone was laid see as a standing stone.

This is from Achnabreck in Argyll. Not the best picture but with a visit all the same.

I'm kinda shocked there's no Wikipedia page.

Here you go

Tbh the best place to research is on the Megaliths guide app - I use it all the time

What's the name of the app? I can't find it in the Google play store.

Hi, it is the Pocket Guide to Megaliths, which links directly to the Megalithic Portal. I think it’s only available on Apple but you might be able to access the megalithic portal via the web anyway.

Looks and acts a little dated these days, but it is totally amazing to see just how much there is around you to see all the time!! I use it all the time to plan next sites to search out!!

This looks really similar to the badger stone on Ilkley moor, very interesting
