I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the excavation of the stone , I've been biting my tongue over it for nearly a year now.
It's a wonderous thing.

We had to promise the excavator that we wouldn't post any pics on the world wide internet.
Drop me a line to [email protected] cos I think my e-mail addy for you is about 2yrs old.

That looks like a plan of fields - or a pot decoration gone irregular.

I found (and lost) a link in which someone from EH was speculating it might be a picture of a landscape. Mentioned possible depiction of mountains in the background. If you rotate your head about 100 degrees to the right you'll get the idea, but it's not exactly arresting.
