ASHOVER CUP and RING NEOLITHIC ROCK

Two large gritstone boulders were found by school children at Ashover Primary School whilst carrying out an environmental project.

The boulders were identified by archaeologists to be from the neolithic period and prove their was a settlement in Ashover from between 3,000 and 6,000 years ago.

One rock is inscribed with cup and ring markings and the other has unidentified writing.
