Rocher des Fées: petroglyph crosses

Whilst some crosses appear as Christian crosses, they are multiple and without focal point. Faint cups at the end of canals can be made out on some and, despite the extremely poor condition of the surface, I think that an interpretation of a late prehistorical theme either from the late neolithic and into the bronze age seems safest, with the idea of a residual cultural archive in this out of the way rural corner being an alternative. Scanning the local area for croft remnant might help provide archaeological material.
