The Langdale Boulders are two large blocks of tufa at Copt-How in the Great Langdale Valley in Cumbria in England .
In 1999 rock carvings were discovered on the stones , the age of which is estimated at 2500-5000 years. Concentric circles, angles, cup-and-ring marks and other motifs were found. The meaning of the depictions is not clear, but it is believed that they were supposed to create a connection to the surrounding landscape for people.
The stones have been a Scheduled Monument since 2000 .
