british megalith architecture
it seems that spirals were an important motif for the megalith builders (see megalithic temples of malta). they have been found carved into megalithic structures all over europe, along with other symbols such as lozenges, eye-patterns, zigzags in various configurations, and cup and ring marks. while not a written script in the modern sense of the term, these symbols are considered to have conveyed meaning to their creators, and are remarkably consistent across the whole of europe.
