Just had a 40 minute chat with the discoverer John Gilpin, what a nice chap.
He's given me the location but asked me not to visit the site yet for reasons i can't go into.
What i can say is the rock sounds very interesting, the designs seem to be very different to the known one discovered in 1983, the Star newspapers description of the RA seems a bit crap by all accounts, it is partly buried though so not all the RA is yet visible.
Surprisingly, well for myself anyway, this new find isn't anywhere near the other example, not even in the same piece of woodland.

Obviously i don't have any pics but John has some good ones and he's promised to e-mail me them, as soon as i get them i'll stick em up.
