Neolithic rock art in northern Britain

More than 100 elaborate carvings dating back thousands of years have been discovered on rocks and boulders in the North of England.

The Neolithic art - found at several sites across Durham and Northumberland - includes a series of intricate designs of concentric circles, interlocking rings and hollowed cups.

They are among only 2,500 examples which exist in England - having survived natural erosion, quarrying and field clearance.
