WITCHES MARKS
In 2019 archaeology experts examining the carvings that line the caves at Creswell made a startling discovery; marks that had previously been interpreted as 17th and 18th-century graffiti were, in fact, 'witches marks', made to ward off evil spirits emerging from the underworld.
When reanalysed, the carvings proved to be the largest single collection of 'apotropaic' marks (from the Greek word apotrepein, meaning 'to turn away'). One cave had hundreds of carvings near the entrance.
The most common carving is a double V ('VV'), thought to stand for Mary, Virgin of Virgins. Turned upside down the double V makes an 'M' for Mary. Aside from the VV mark, there are also maze symbols and boxes, symbolic of an attempt to trap evil. Witches marks are often found near entrances to buildings, such as doorways and windows, as well as chimneys, but this is by far the largest concentration in any single location.
Note that the cave entrances are all barred, so you can look inside but cannot enter. The Visitor Centre at Creswell Crags runs tours where you can visit the cave interiors.
