Thank-you
These TOPOGRAPHIC MUD MAPS are very accurate and easy to read if you are willing to look and see for yourself. One of the easiest to reference is the Badger Stone on Ilkley Moor. Have a go. It is very easy. I will even give you a hint.
1. Type Badger stone location on Google (enter). 2. On the right now you will have a photo of the stone with a map. (click/enter). 3. Change to satellite view. 4. Note the location of Badger Stone Marker in relationton to track left of marker THAT HAS A HOOK BEND in it. 5. Find a good Diagramme of the Badger Stone and locate almost central what looks like (without being too rude) a dick and ball. 6. Located directly right is a line with a hook. This is the track previously stated. 7. Once you have located this track Locate a prominent landmark on the diagramme and sat map. 8. Use a ruler to measure between pictogrammes and then zoom in or out on sat map to scale sat map to diagramme. 9. Use protractor and ruler to reference anything on the diagramme to the sat map. You can even find the location of the Badger Stone on the diagramme. This truly is a most excellent mud map that covers a fair bit of ground.
I would like to know why Dirk Hill Sike, and especially Rivock Edge, were of importance.

Brilliant, as ever
Many thanks
I KNOW that these are MAPs, not random art and not a star maps, not any other thing other than a very well constructed and drawn topographical map. So I will plead with whom so ever might wish to open their eyes and see.
These cup and ring maps are in many places all over the world. It is my theory that places from Gobekli Tepe and all the circles through Europe and England and North America were used to detail and construct these MAP STONES.
All the markings on every stone can be referenced to sites found on modern day maps and yep even GOOGLE EARTH. The Cochno Map Stone, Achenbreck, Ilkley Moore, I could just go on and on with examples in U.K. alone. All that is needed is a protracted bearing from one site to another, and a SCALED measured distance on any map stone you could choose and everything falls into place on a modern map of that stones surrounding area. Simple as that, so have a go. I have to say that it was once said that there are none so blind as those who will not see. PLEASE see. Preserve and study these historic artifacts that were once the aid to travellers (and perhaps even titles of land ownership but who will ever know?).
There is so many of these maps and so much info to process. That is all.

Have you been to Dinvin Motte outside of Girvan?
Yes. I posted a video if memory serves. It's very unusual and very memorable
@@rogergriffith286 oh sorry, I actually watched it five years ago and already commented on it! I must have completely forgot!
