Are there any recorded "prehistoric" carvings in the UK of anything other than cups and spirals?...Other than things like the Cissbury paintings, I can't think of anything carved..the oldest I know for sure being pictish...anyone more clued up?


There is an intricately carved axe head in the European Prehistory Room at the Ashmolean in Oxford (in the same display case as the exquisite jadeite axe heads) - Bronze Age I think, though may be later. When I say carved I mean that the cutting edge of the axe head has small engraved markings on it; definitely worth taking a look.
