Visited Släbro near Nyköping. While many of the same motives appear on rock carvings all over Sweden, those at Släbro are like no others.

The shallow grooves of these eroded cattle carvings trace movement across time-worn stone. Their weathered outlines suggest a ritual or record of pastoral life.
What does the uneven fading of these figures reveal about their original purpose?

The grooves of these cattle figures, worn smooth by centuries, trace the curve of a shoulder or the flick of a tail in shallow relief. Their presence suggests a ritual or record—perhaps a tally of herds, or offerings to unseen forces.
What does the absence of human figures here imply about the maker’s intent?

I also free-handed a grey top with #hällristningar in red as part of my maternity wardrobe - I love how this one turned out!
Unapologetically #pagan and a connection to my #Scandinavian roots.
The #petroglyphs are all from existing #RockCarvings across #Sweden based on photos I found online.

Scores of Extraordinary 2,700-Year-Old Rock Carvings Have Been Discovered in Sweden https://flip.it/aV21rz #RockCarvings #Petroglyphs #Sweden

The other day I was up in a favourite local spot, Goats Crag. These carvings are a little way off the main path and hard to find unless you know where they are. Believed to represent goats, although whether that's because of the name or the name was given because of the carvings, I'm not sure. They could really be any kind of quadruped, but I'm happy to accept the folklore!
Their age is unknown, and they probably aren't truly ancient (I've heard guesses from Iron Age to Roman to Medieval; if they were really prehistoric, they'd be incredibly rare in Britain), but early Bronze Age burials have been found close by, and one of the largest occurrences of cup and ring marks is also not far away, as well as an Iron Age fort.

To add context for anyone interested in the layout of the #Prehistoric site, here is some lidar data, which makes it much clearer than Google Maps can, as it reveals what's hidden under the tree cover. I'd scrambled through those ditches a hundred times and never realised how they formed a picture with the landscape until I saw maps showing this.
My guess would be that they post-date the #CupAndRingMarks (second pic) outside the embankments, but I'm no expert.
