I saw this at Muxia but can't find any reference to it. Perhaps it's a more recent carving.

Great shot! Did you get close enough to touch it? In your photo it resembles the symbol/icon for the CBS news on US tv.

I did! I was sitting on a rock next to it. The carving was quite deep and neatly chiseled in the rock. It does look like the CBC symbol : )
