View WSW of prehistoric rock art including many cup-and-ring markings on a large dome of sandstone at Roughting Linn, Northumberland, England, UK. Parts of the outcrop have been quarried away but the site is famous for the number & variety of its carvings. Some of the cup-and rings bear a superficial ressemblance to the maze patterns named after the city of Troy, famous for its intricate funeral games.
