Cup-and-ring stones, petroglyphs, rock art – these are general terms used to describe ostensibly non-linear carved designs on outcrops of rock or solitary boulders. They are found in every continent on Earth. British examples originate from the neolithic period (some may be even older). Their central features are small rounded cup-markings, circles, semi-circles, curved lines (short, mid-length, and long), straight-ish lines, double- & multiple-rings, all in usually abstract design-forms. Their almost complete non-linear nature relate to non-egoic structures, making them difficult to ‘intellectually’ grasp; and no two carvings are the same. Although no direct ‘meaning’ can be ascribed to the carvings, many have a relationship with ancient notions of death and/or burial. In animistic terms, they relate to the spirit of rocks and other features of the natural landscape. It is likely that some represent journeys (animal, tribal and individual) and events (ritual). Some modern students have posited their relationships with water, but this proposition should be forged onto animistic relationships with the land itself (water, land and sky are not separate in the mythic domains of the peoples who carved these designs). The correct study of petroglyphs requires analytical research in anthropology, archaeology, comparative religion, consciousness studies and myth.
