Focusing on the North York Moors, this book presents a series of multidisciplinary studies of the carved prehistoric monuments in that area, some already known and some exposed by a devastating fire in 2003. This is the first major interpretive work about prehistoric rock motifs in this area based on the authors' extensive fieldwork carried out in the last few years. It includes new interpretations of the Brow Moor monument and cup-marked stones, while studying the monuments in relation to the surrounding landscape and re-evaluating astronomical and calendrical associations that have been assigned to markings on stones in the past. The book is illustrated with both colour and black-and-white images.
