All sorts of things going on here! A nice collection of more modern graffiti (likely from tourists!) can be spotted in Clifford's Tower in York. There are other small pieces of graffiti scattered throughout the tower too!@EnglishHeritage #HistoricGraffiti#Graffiti pic.twitter.com/mkvrfJ9EoC

Pictish carving of a dog-headed man, known as the ‘Mail Stone’. Possibly dating to the late 7th or early 8th century, the carving was found by a grave digger at Mail cemetery, Cunningsburgh, Shetland in 1992. Now part of the collections @ShetlandMandA #FindsFriday pic.twitter.com/T86IlpmrEZ

2/2 But these I find the most moving – crosses & crucifixes carved as devotional objects in front of the only light in the castle Gaol, with many re-carved multiple times by prisoners awaiting their fate. #Archaeology #medieval @WarwickCastle @NWHistGraffiti @jpwarchaeology pic.twitter.com/dW3QraVNyY
