Ulaca cups basins - a photo on Flickriver

Ulaca cups basins

            Normally the Iron Age sees a reduction in rupestrian basins as both iron reinforced wood and high temperature ceramic containers become the 'new'. Many Iron Age hill forts and towns do not have just such time consuming monolithic intervention - relatively common for late Neolithic and Bronze Age date ranges. Might this be a witness of pre iron age activity at Ulaca?  The basins for the rites that drew people onto the hill top in the first place? Might the hill top have contained spiritual leaders keen to protect old ways, or might there have been a local iron age industry that enjoyed the qualities of granite? Natural chemical erosion can create and augment basins, but the above clusters within Ulaca's smooth splay of boulders and scrub, seem to have the rhythm and comfort of man in their guise.
