Scope

Boulder in cluster in small stream bed, carved on two faces. Situated approximately 3m from quarried blocks and a roughed-out quern stone with a pecked centre. GSC114A engravings are on vertical surface.

Arrangement

Two humans, two animals (ambiguous?): Two pecked humans facing each other, both holding objects or weapons and wearing headdresses with three curving projections (possibly feathers). The smaller human on the right, facing left, holds an elliptical object (bow?) and a possible linear object, and has a rounded back or wears a rounded object. The larger left-hand human, facing right, holds a circular object (shield?) and a linear object (sword?). To the left of the human figures are two right-facing animals with tails, possibly ambiguous. One has a small head and long neck with linear object extending from it, the other with two long protuberances, possibly horns, and three legs. Figure 7.28
