ISBN 1-897585-45-4 (£9.95)
An excellent account of the rock carvings in this region, recorded in detail by Stan Beckensall along with Tim Laurie who has conducted extensive fieldwork in the region leading to the discovery of many carvings and also enabling him to provide the archaeological background to the areas where the carvings are located.
The recent excavation of the Witton Gilbert kist burial is also described, from where it is hoped that C14 dating will confirm an expected late Neolithic/early Bronze age date for the cist and also provide useful dating evidence for the associated rock carvings.
