Rock Art sounds very modern, but the cup and ring marked rock on Gardom's Edge dates back to Neolithic times. Numerous prehistoric features have been found here including a massive stone bank, cairns, house platforms and a standing stone. Hopefully, following our instructions, you'll find the inscribed boulder quicker than we did.
