Has Anyone Seen This Rock?

[msouth]

I found this stone as part of a foundation of an old home site in South Central Virginia. I believe it may be some type of Indian carving. Does anyone know what it might be?

I don't know enough about where you found that or the context you found it in. did you say it was part of a foundation? I usually try to eliminate the obvious first. it looks like heavy machinery marks to me. did they pulldoes the area

Looks like plow marks to me. I see these marks often on large stones in fields that Im hunting. Was this from the foundation of an old farm house?

Ogham writing. (Sorry the plow marks remarks set me off. I've never seen plow marks in a grid at right angles like that.) Cool rock. What led you to believe they might be Indian in origin?

Could it be an ancient game of tic tac toe?

? Has anyone seen this rock? ''No, not until now. '' My guess is that some kids in time past were thinking of playing tic-tac-toe.

some of the old horse drawen mowers had steel wheels and that same pattern .

It's most likely plow marks, but it caught my attention that they were at right angles to each other. Being from Oklahoma I'm fairly familiar with farming techniques. They pretty much plowed in the same direction year after year there. We find a lot of grinder basins with disc marks cut into them. But they're random and at angles.

This rock was a part of a house foundation i found on my property . This is the only rock like it , and no bulldozers have been around it to my knowledge . the location is Halifax co. Va. on the the Staunton river . I have a metal detector but have not used it because i have been clearing the brush away by hand . I will go back in there this fall ,there were just to many ticks , I have never seen so many , so i will wait until the first frost !

my next door neighbor said that he had seen them on his property down by the old Indian village . that is on his land , he says he does not like to tell people about it because , then he would have to put up with trespassers .The land has been in his family for a long time.

I think if indians wanted to carve on a stone that there would be something more along the lines of symbols or petroglyphs and if it's a foundation stone then its probably pretty big and kinda unlikely that those are plow marks. I think its just somehow weathered that way.
