Cumbria, with the Lake District at its heart, is one of the richest
counties for prehistoric rock art. Sites like Long Meg and her
Daughters and Castlerigg stone circle are nationally famous and
feature prominently in Stan Beckensall's new book. But the real
value of the work is that it records every known rock art site in
the county and also covers 'portable' panels that are now to be
found in the museums of Tullie House, Carlisle and Penrith. Most of
the recent research has been carried out by the author himself, who
not only records all these mysterious prehistoric carvings but
seeks to explain their significance and emphasises the natural
beauty of their settings. Two important and very recently
discovered panels, at Patterdale and at Chapel Stile, will be
published in detail for the first time in this book. Written from
the heart as well as being firmly rooted in original research, this
book gives a deep and exciting insight into the county's ancient
past.
