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 ...

Engagement with the upland archaeology and landscape of Cumbria and beyond. And did those feet…. May 12, 2015. But this being Bristol, there were connections drawn between rock art, superimposition and graffiti in Bedouin culture, so it was inevitable that local lad Banksy got a mention. Listening to sounds – lithophonics to be precise – the well known (at least on Tiree) Balaphetrish Gong Stone was rung, you can see this here. 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.

Engagement with the upland archaeology and landscape of Cumbria and beyond. July 21, 2015. Cairnholy Joe and the Stones. It seems many people you meet who have visited here also encountered this aesthete whose name it turns out is Joseph Proskauer who describes him self on his blog. And approach the forecourt and observe – this is how it looked. Of course there were many other observations Joe made including the unrecorded weathered pecked area of rock and cup mark on the edge of one of the southerly ort...

Engagement with the upland archaeology and landscape of Cumbria and beyond. June 1, 2015. A grand post from Heritage Landscape and Creativity on Scottish artists from the nineteenth century AD to the third millenia BC! They are the faults of archaeology rather than art’. Earlier this year I was privileged to see. The Druids: Bringing in the Mistletoe. By George Henry and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1890) in the excellent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Needless to say this required further investigation.
