Its purpose may have been to mark a cremation burial at its centre, which has been inexpertly dug at some time, and its stone settings are far too small in circumference to place it with those circles that may be meeting places or religious centres for large groups of people. The stones are naturally shaped for the most part, but at the bases they have been narrowed and smoothed. One local name - 'The Women'-probably refers to their waists, and another, 'The Singing Stones', to the fluting, believed to trap the wind. There are natural cups, deep and large, on one of the stones, but the most easterly has an oblique line of artificial cups. It has taken me (Stan Beckensall) many visits to accept them as artificial. The site is private, but permission from Duddo farm is graciously given when asked. It is reached by a well-defined track north from the road, and the protected site is one of the most rewarding. There would be a case for excavating the centre to locate the original pit, but at the moment it sits happily in a field that is constantly in use. The centre has clearance stones from ploughing added to it, otherwise it is left to its grass and nettles.

A striking motif is a cup at the centre of two concentric circles with a diametric groove that runs on to link it with other figures.

It is the largest decorated rock in northern England, and perhaps the most famous. Roughting Linn was was discovered in 1852 by William Greenwell, who reported its discovery at the meeting of Archaeological Institute in Newcastle in the July of that year. Unfortunately, Greenwell?s report was not published in the two volumes that recorded the meeting. Tate (1865) drew it in the mid-19th century, and a more thorough survey was made by Elizabeth Shee Twohig in 1988. Richard Bradley has noted its similarity to a long barrow, and has commented on the way its motifs are arranged so that large concentric circles form a kerb. The western part has been quarried away, before 1850, and a large slab has been removed across its width. There is still one cup and multiple circle motifs on a surviving part to the west and although the south is gouged with mainly natural grooves, there are cups and rings there too, so this decorated kerb idea is sound. Apart from its size and the fact that it just happened to be there, natural erosion on the southern part may have attracted artificial additions, a factor seen also at sites like Old Bewick. The decorated kerb concept is one shared with Irish Passage Grave art, although the circumstances are different, for this is undisturbed outcrop rock and not panels arranged in an artificial structure. In the area between the outcrop and the gully are the multiple ramparts and ditches of an enclosure that cuts off the promontory to the NW. The small waterfall is formed by the Broomridgedean Burn falling over a ledge. Where it falls into a pond is a place both sheltered and beautiful, with small cliffs rising on either side, one with an overhang. To any group of people who regarded water as an object of veneration, this could well have been a special place. Despite the tarmacadam road that cuts the triangular promontory, at its base, the area has a lingering timelessness. The rock, the enclosure and the burn look west to the valley that leads to the Milfield Plain. To the east the views are impeded by higher ground, and to the SE the land rises to Doddington North Moor. Goatscrag Hill may have been visible, as it is partially today, from the rock. Just before the water tumbles over the ledge to cascade into the pool, there is some substantial outcrop covered by grass, and it would be interesting to see if this is marked in any way. The rock at Roughting Linn has another tale to tell, for it reflects the inexplicable reluctance of the archaeological establishment to look after it. Here we have one of the most important pieces of rock art in the world, and it has a crumbling, ancient, irrelevant notice board of remarkable ugliness. To my knowledge (Stan Beckensall), in over 20 years there has been only one visit to ascertain the problems of erosion on the site, and no report or action followed. There are small trees pushing roots into the rock. Of course the site is beautiful, but how safe is the rock and its motifs? If the site is to be accessible, which technically it is, why are there no finger posts to guide strangers there? So many people end up at the farm. If there should be some information about it, why not replace the present board with a new one, with a drawing? It is helpful for people who come when the light is poor to see what is on the rock, and this may well help to encourage them not to walk all over it looking for the motifs. We have a real problem here of recording, evaluation of what might spoil this rock, and of presenting it to interested people. Compared with the amount of money that is, for example, spent on Hadrian's Wall, we are talking peanuts! Access to the marked rocks is by public rights of way. Should you wish to examine the rock overhangs at Goatscrag Hill, it is a courtesy to ask permission at Roughting Linn Farm. You may approach from the Ford Moss site to the west or from Roughting Linn on the east. The position is pivotal in the area, lying as it does at the head of the Broomridgedean valley, whose burn flows past the towering north scarp with its overhangs, burials, and the trail of rock art across the top of the ridge, to the now-removed round barrow cemetery at its west end before the Milfield Plain begins. It is linked with the next group of rock art at Hare Law, whose site today does not evoke such aesthetic pleasure, and which lies in a different kind of landscape: more levelled out as it moves east towards the sea." 12,10013,There is a deteriorating noticeboard. 12,10015,The rock has been quarried in places. 12,10016,"Roughting Linn is named after a nearby small waterfall, the two elements being 'linn', a pool, and 'roughting', a bellowing noise." 12,10017,There is a wooden fence around the site. 12,10018,decide which topo.

Near the top of the dome slope are flower-like stems with heads made of a cup surrounded by a ring. Some of these grooves join each other, and some end in small cups. There are clusters of cups enclosed by grooves, interconnecting with other enclosed cups. There are, uniquely, nine radiates springing from the outer of two penannulars around a cup, itself connected to other figures, The SE slope includes concentric inverted arcs, and a variation of the cup and ring theme is the use of parallel grooves, six in the case of two linked figures. Erosion has taken its toll in a hollow to the SE, but it has been possible through careful rubbing and by a replica made by John Price (formerly a Conservator at English Heritage), to trace the nature of these figures. Slightly higher up the rock, above these, is by contrast a heavily-picked pair of concentric penannulars with a row of cups above that. The concentric grooves have been made by joining together separately-made cups; the divisions between these cups are still clear. At first sight, the cups and rings look similar, but closer inspection shows some interesting difference. To the SE of the quarried gash the ends of two penannulars are joined, and in the space between are three tiny cups in a row. Attached to the outside penannular of another is a hook-like groove. To the north, two grooves run uphill from the circles, and one group of four concentric circles has a diametric groove through the central cup. The drawings, checked many times in different lights, show some figures fainter than others, not necessarily a result of erosion, but of being put on faintly originally, and perhaps unfinished. DETAILS OF THE CARVINGS Group A (North slope) This part of the rock is an elongated slope bounded on the south by a quarried gap. There is a natural crack running from east to west. To the north of this are three figures. The most easterly is a cup and ring, with a duct running up the rock from this ring, a second broken ring, and a third angular ring enclosing the whole figure, but gapped where the duct emerges. This outer ring follows a natural fault in the rock that had already produced a raised diamond-shaped feature that the ring largely follows. Next to this is a small figure of three rings on the east side around a centre that has pick marks but no cup, and on the west the three rings flatten into two. This outer ring seems to run into some difficulty where the rock is irregular, and at the top of the curve is an arc of three cups defining its path. A small groove runs up the rock from the outer ring. The westerly figure has a cup with a duct running down the rock, two complete rings, a third incomplete ring, and a fourth ring enclosing the whole. In strong light the irregular blows of the chisel that have made the motifs can be seen. To the south of the crack is a natural small basin at the east end, which has the addition of a partial ring. West of it is a rough cup with a possible ring, then a more distinct figure of a cup and penannular and a broken penannular concentric to it. An incomplete figure of two concentric rings lies west, then there is a fault in the rock like a bridge.. This bridge has a groove added that could have held a tether. Another small figure of cup with two rings follows, then a large figure of four well-spaced concentric penannulars around a cup that is bisected by a radial groove. The outer ring ends at crack, which cuts it off. A faint large cup lies outside the outer ring. To the NW are a faint cup, an arc, and a figure of a cup, ring with a duct, and two outer concentric penannulars. A natural depression in the rock separates these figures from a spread of smaller ones to the west. These are faint, but one has a cup, duct and two broken rings, a ring that surrounds some faint pecking, a cup, duct and arc, a cup and ring, cup, duct and penannular, and a cup and penannular. Most of the ducts follow the downward slope of the rock, but three go upwards. Group B This part of the outcrop slopes eastward, the largest cup and ring motifs concentrating near the east edge, although there are some small cups and a small cup and ring below them. The most easterly figure has a cup not central to its rings, and from it a duct runs to the edge of the rock. Penannulars round the cup are drawn down the rock, making them more pear-shaped than circular. The first two, deeply-picked, with the tool marks clear, stop at the duct. The next pair stop at the north side of the duct, but the other two are looped, and inside the loop are three small cups in an arc. There are signs that the line of this arc continues down the rock to meet the duct. The arc of cups also suggests that an extra ring may have been considered between rings 3 and 4, but this is unlikely further up the slope as the gap is too narrow for an extra ring. Attached to the outside ring is a cup and angular ring in a natural small depression, and separate from that is a groove that touches the ring from the outside. To the west of this figure is a large deep cup with a duct that follows the slope eastward, and round it are concentric rings that have been cut off by quarrying. The cup has three concentric penannulars, rather angular, and a groove begins to lead down the slope eastward from the gap in the third ring. Outside is a fourth ring, but to the west it is almost erased. Further west, and also cut by quarrying, is a small cup surrounded by three rings that end with a fault in the rock that forms a minor edge. It is not clear what happens at this point. There is one small outer arc that does not continue as a fourth ring. To return to the eastern edge, the next figure is a deep cup and duct with a penannular. A second concentric penannular, slightly interrupted by a fault in the rock, shows deep pick marks. Added to it is a hooked groove, like a handle, and south of that are two deep cups, one with faint traces of a ring. To the west is another deeply-picked figure, beyond the small natural ridge in the rock that runs obliquely across it, with a large cup and thin duct surrounded by two deep penannulars. Like all the others, the penannulars open at the down-slope, and the ducts run downwards. Further west is another set of cups and rings, this time a ductless cup with three deep penannulars. Group C Between the two figures just described is a deep cup with a thin groove to the south, and east of it is a thin arc. There are some other traces of cups and small grooves that are more related to the more delicate figures now to be described: Although cups and rings are still integral parts of the design, the next group concentrates on linked long grooves that follow the rock slope down. At the head of one motif is a wide cup with a ring from which a linear groove extends. The line joins the duct of a similar motif: a cup with a ring. At the place where the two grooves meet, the groove changes direction slightly before continuing down the slope, where it ends close to two cups. A third figure, a penannular around a cup from which a groove runs, is almost linked to the other two, but it does not quite reach. It may be related to the cup with an arc below it, already described. Close to the head of these three sets of motifs (of cup, ring and long duct) is a large cup with a semicircular arc, a cup with a small arc, and two cups. Group D A similar group of flower-like motifs lie to the north of C, but between them is a panel of motifs of a different kind. It is separated from the NW part of the rock by a natural depression, and by a natural channel to the SE, forming a slightly domed surface. At the top of the slope is a cup set high in a well-made, gapped ring, and a thin duct from this cup joins it to another cup further down the rock, also with a gapped ring, forming a figure of eight around the two linked cups. Parallel to this on the south is a line of five cups, one with a penannular. To the north, just outside the curve of the figure of eight, is a large cup. The lower part of the outcrop is taken up by a wide cup with a penannular, below the opening of which is a polygonal groove (open at the north end) that encloses 5 distinct cups. On the SE this enclosure groove cuts through the open ring around a cup, from which a small duct runs. To the south are eleven cups in what appears to be a random scatter. There are two cups on the opposite side. The rock is naturally split to the NE, with some cups at the split edge, then two large cups lead on to the deep concentric ringed figures of Group B. Group E Echoing C, there are two figures linked by grooves. A cup has an incomplete ring, from the ends of which two serpentine, parallel grooves run down the rock and end in small cups. To the north, a cup has a duct running to a small cup also. From the end of the arc another groove runs to meet the groove of its neighbour. The three terminal cups are in line. Another groove runs away north to the edge, but this may be natural, or enhanced. On the south side it seems that a third linked figure was contemplated, but not completed: a cup has a penannular with its opening facing up the slope; one terminal has a groove running up the rock to a deep cup. There are seven other cups to the south of this, the most southerly beginning a serpentine groove (perhaps natural) that runs into another large cup further down the slope. Below all this (E) is a little promontory of outcrop with a rosette: a central cup with seven others around it, and another cup outside the circle. These motifs, like many others, leave a strong impression that the patterns/designs/concepts grew as someone began to chip at the rock, and that there was no overall premeditated plan, nor any worry about finishing everything symmetrically. Group F The SE slope of this outcrop has unusual motifs. The slope is steep, and the depression in the rock above it is mostly a natural feature. To the south is a small cup, an arc (unfinished ring?) and two concentric rings that are not complete at the bottom. Then there is a cup and duct with arcs of three concentric rings, and although the north part of this figure is clearly defined, the rest is either eroded or unfinished. Further north there are several indistinct figures, including a deep cup with two arcs, an oval with a vertical line, and a figure that looks like a trilithon. At the top of the slope, with the hollow behind, is a row of varied figures, beginning with three inverted Us (or semi-ovoids), and a deep cup and duct. Next is a cup and duct with an arc above the cup that extends downward on either side of the duct, parallel to it, thus forming three parallel lines. A second, outer ring is concentric to the inner arc, but continues to enclose the next figure to the north in a figure-of-eight. This figure has a central cup with a duct, and two concentric penannulars, the RHS one continuing down the slope as a groove, and forming part of the figure-of-eight at the top. Between this and the next figure is a vertical, unattached linear groove. The distinct parallelism of these combined figures continues with the next figure, which has a cup and linear groove parallel to the others, and three concentric rings that disappear over the top edge of the rock where the hollow is. To the north is a cup high in a penannular, with a concentric penannular outside it. A small cup lies outside, followed by a crack in the rock that separates it from the next figure: two broken concentric rings around an oval hole in the rock. On the opposite side of the hollow are some partial figures: two cups, a cup and arc, a large and small cup and arc, and a distinct cup, gap, duct, inner ring, and an incomplete outer ring. Usually covered over, to the north are two concentric arcs with no cup, and some fragmentary grooves. Group G West of the markings just described, the rock slopes into an area slightly sunken, and subject to erosion, for water or ice frequently lie in it. Despite the erosion, it has been possible to give a clear picture of what was picked onto the surface, through wax rubbings and through the model made of it by English Heritage conservator, John Price, whose panel has the advantage of being capable of being turned into strong oblique light. At the south end of the hollow, where there are some small nodules of natural iron in the rock, is a deeply-marked cup and duct, with two concentric penannulars. The outer ring has nine thin radiating lines that end in small cups - a unique motif. The duct continues towards other figures, passing through two symmetrical arcs that face each other at their open ends. Close to one arc is a small cup and ring. Motifs that stand out most boldly are a cup, duct and two penannulars, with an outer arc that meets an irregular near-oval enclosure with faint traces of arcs inside it. A groove from the outside of this enclosure becomes the duct to a cup with a penannular and a concentric ring, with traces of an outer ring that links it to the figure below. There are other faint grooves, and one clear figure of a cup and three rings. To the south is a cup, duct, and three penannulars. West, on the edge of the rock, is a line of four deep cups, below which is a cup and two penannulars that are heavily picked into the rock with a wide point, and the rings are made by joining together a series of cups. This contrasts with a fainter figure of a small cup and two or three broken concentric rings to the north. Group H This includes most of the remaining motifs, on the top of the outcrop and on the rough downslope to the south. The top of the rock is naturally pitted with channels and small basins by the action of weathering, but the channels that run down the rock from these to the south edge are enhanced to form a distinct feature. On the south slope, despite its very rugged surface, cups and rings have been imposed. They are not easy to distinguish among the natural indentations, but three figures have a central cup, one with two or possibly three rings, another with a duct and three rings and an outer arc, while the third has traces of three rings. The main feature on the slope is a long, deep channel similar to one at Chatton Park Hill. There are three other motifs on the dome of the rock, consisting of a cup and two penannulars, a cup, ring and broken outer ring, and a figure on a minor edge that has a cup and three rings. From here the top surface of the massive outcrop has been quarried away, but there is one motif surviving on the west edge that shows that its surface may have been marked all over: a small cup and two concentric penannulars, an incomplete ring, and two more penannulars ending at a slightly curved groove." 12,2,"When the viewer is slightly lower than the stone, approaching from the east, the rock dominates the horizon. Closer to the rock more of the surrounding area can be viewed. In particular a distant view to the west includes lower-lying ground and the distant Cheviot Hills, flanked by higher ground to either side, including the Broomridge/Goatscrag area. The site is a generally elevated position, partially surrounded by deep denes to the north and west, with higher ground eastwards. There are a few possible monuments that are contemporary with the rock carvings. A large, multi-ditched and banked enclosure is located nearby. Previously recorded as an Iron Age hillfort, it is possible that this is a Neolithic enclosure, since no hut circles have been recorded inside. The banks also appear graded in decreasing height into the enclosure?s centre, the converse expected of hillforts. An earthen mound lies within, and it has been suggested to be a long barrow/mound. There has been no recent ploughing and fieldwalking collections made in the immediate area. The striking natural feature of Roughting Linn waterfall is just 200 m from the rock art site." 12,3,Sandstone 12,7,Sandstone 12,1,"This is a huge dome of outcropping rock dominating surrounding ground. The recent removal of trees, a surrounding fence with gate and sign shows the whole dome to its advantage, gently domed along the line of the sandstone ridge and more sharply from west to east. It is a single outcrop at this level, from the west appearing as a large crag. The whole dome is in three sections; the central area is largely surviving outcrop falling away in all directions, with the flanking north and south portions largely quarried away, remaining as grass-covered edges and hollows. The overall shape of the dome is similar to that of a large cairn with the rock art around as a decorated skirt, though no burial evidence has been recorded. The quarrying of the rock is undated, though likely to be Post Medieval, with possible loss of rock art motifs. Early illustrations of the site show cut-out portions with ?steps? of straight and sheer edges where rock has been removed, and tool marks can be seen across all areas of the dome. The surrounding trees and other vegetation which threatened the panel have recently been cleared as a result of an agreement between English Heritage and the landowner. The fence and signpost referred to in the Beckensall Archive notes (which pre-date the current notes) have also been removed and a new information board will be erected in due course.

There are many motifs, but the clearest are three sets of concentric rings in a line. The largest of these, to the east, has a cup and a very erratic duct that does not start from the central cup, and there are four sets of concentric penannulars, mostly angular, flattening to the south. The second in line, NE, has a ductless cup with two angular penannulars, their open ends facing the larger figure just described. Two grooves lead away from its outer ring on the north side, one so long that it reaches the end of the outcrop. The shorter of the grooves runs through a cup, and a cup with a small duct and penannular. The third figure, NE, has a cup with two angular rings. A little fainter than these three motifs, and to the south of them, is a cup with two angular rings, and a number of faint depressions on the surface that could be natural. The east part of the rock, above the long linear groove, has motifs of various depths. North of the largest figure are two cups with two rings, the outer rings touching. There is a fainter cup and ring in this little cluster. Further north is a cup with an angular gapped ring. On the east edge there is a thin serpentine groove leading to a cup, and short duct and penannular, and in line with this is a ringed cup with a groove (probably natural) running from it. This groove is joined by another from the edge of the rock, with a cup and ring. There are some other irregularities on the surface, which may be natural." 13,10008,14m NNW of Hare Law Crags 5 and 4m NNW of the farmtrack. 13,10011,"The Hare Law Crags 1-7 area has been extensively quarried and mined, but is now pasture and used for timber plantations, so much archaeology may have been removed or buried.

'No one has seen this rock recently, as it is buried, so we have to rely mainly on the drawings made by Mr Bruce and Mr.Tate. Half a mile north of Doddington village just west of the A6111 road the stone was discovered by Miss Procter in 1859. As it was covered by a foot of soil, the clearing of the stone revealed fresh markings. Mr. Tate describes it: ""It juts out from the hill side - an irregular mass - ridged and broken on the surface, sloping more or less in all directions, but chiefly towards the west; the whole surface, which is 9 feet long by seven feet broad, is crowded with figures, chiefly of the ordinary type of concentric circles, some of which are grouped into compound figures by grooves. Here there are oval, horseshoe, and pear-shaped figures. One form is very peculiar; a circle around a cup, and with two hook-like grooves from one side of the circle. Very rude are both the shape and workmanship of the figures; many of the incisions are shallow, still retaining distinct marks of the blunt tools by which the rock had, with little skill, been chipped away. Some of the hollows are, however, wide and deep. Thirty figures are traceable on this stone."" Mr. Tate and Mr. Bruce drew the rock differently. It needs to be re-examined and drawn accurately. Mr. Bruce said that the Rev, William Procter ""observed traces of burial which escaped the ordinary observer?groups of large stones, and beneath the cultivated soil, a fair quantity of fatty matter, apparently animal. The field had evidently been an ancient graveyard."" The Rev Procter (Procter, W The History of Doddington p 8 MS transcription at the Literary and Philosophical Society, Newcastle upon Tyne) writes: From this field in my time scores of loads of stone have been carted off, manifestly broken by the hand for some purpose and conveyed thither in time long past. They were similar in size and form to stones used in building crypts (he probably means cists), hence we may infer that this Chesters field had been once a burying ground?Two crypts have been found in my time in the outskirts of this field. The rest had been broken up long ago. Whether Chesters and Cain Heads refer to the same field is not clear, but it seems that Chesters lies to the south of the Chesters field. Messrs. W. and G. Davidson re-excavated the rock in 1933, and said that it measured 8' north to south, 10' east to west, and was marked over most of its area with 67 markings, all with very clear tool marks. They left the rock exposed for three days, and it has been covered ever since. Its position is at a high viewpoint at 100m.

Traces of incomplete cross-hatched grooves are seen at the bottom of the rock, indicating that someone thought of continuing the idea further. These finely-picked grooves cover much of the rock and continue the motif of parallel lines crossing a central spine, with some variation such as a groove that loops from one cup to another, and a serpentine groove that curves round two large cups. But the other element is the use of cups, and if one shuts out for a while the grooves, the cups form their own pattern: - a curved enclosure confined to the right hand side of the rock, and a line of four large cups across it.

Carving could not be located during NADRAP survey. 41,2,"This extensive area of moorland, rough grazing and golf course is a prominent landscape feature of north Northumberland. The area rises from undulating eastern slopes above West Horton to a plateau height of Dod Law, above steep scarp edges which in places, on the south and west, comprises blocky crags. The main moor area is broadly divided into two by a stream running south to north. This is a typical Fell Sandstone Group terrace with western crags and eastern dip-slope, draining in all directions, through established courses at the fringes, giving the appearance of an island of substantially higher ground. Gled Law issues from the flanks of Doddington Moor. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions, to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, over the Till, Hetton Burn, Doddington Dene and other valleys. These views include many other rock art areas. There is an extensive series of rock art panels across the area (in some cases called Dod Law), with a number of contemporary monuments. Since the creation of the rock art, modifications to the landscape have taken place across the whole area, so the panels are a mixture of in situ and moved panels.

The overlying peat which has preserved these singular sculptures, was from a few inches to one foot in depth?Three other groups of figures, curved and irregular forms, are on the scalp of the same rock, but at some distance from each other- Plate VI, figs. 2,3,4. Twenty - four figures are traceable on these stones."" Tate (1865) and Bruce (1869) drew the rock, and it is clear that part of it has been removed since then. The main difference from what we see today is that part of the western motifs have gone. Another important observation is that there are three levels of the rock surface, and that the main motifs occupy the lowest level, well-preserved by peat and turf, and deeply pecked into the rock. The right corner of the drawing shows that some cups and partial rings have eroded considerably, or were pecked on lightly. A possible explanation for this is that some rock with older motifs was removed, and new motifs put on at a lower level in prehistoric times. Why? This happened at Fowberry Plantation and at Gayles Moor (Richmondshire). The Fowberry example is particularly striking, because a rectangular block has been removed and a motifs with every pick-mark fresh have been placed at the base of the space left, with eroded motifs on the old surface having similar designs of cups and rings. An explanation is that the rock slab with motifs was deliberately removed for incorporation in a monument. This important, elaborate rock art panel, viewed from the east to appreciate its designs, gives only a limited view of the Milfield Plain, although the Cheviots and scarp edge are in sight. It occupies a place that has all-round views of the landscape." 53,10012,Heavy visitation. 53,10015,"In January 2003, we observed that water that had built up on the NE side of the rock against the surrounding turf had frozen." 53,10016,"""Dodd"" has two meanings: a hill, or the Old English personal name, ""Dodda.""" 53,10018,check nature of access and animals - do this for a-c 53,2,"This extensive area of moorland, rough grazing and golf course is a prominent landscape feature of north Northumberland. The area rises from undulating eastern slopes above West Horton to a plateau height of Dod Law, above steep scarp edges which in places, on the south and west, comprises blocky crags. The main moor area is broadly divided into two by a stream running south to north. This is a typical Fell Sandstone Group terrace with western crags and eastern dip-slope, draining in all directions, through established courses at the fringes, giving the appearance of an island of substantially higher ground. Gled Law issues from the flanks of Doddington Moor. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions, to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, over the Till, Hetton Burn, Doddington Dene and other valleys. These views include many other rock art areas. There is an extensive series of rock art panels across the area (in some cases called Dod Law), with a number of contemporary monuments. Since the creation of the rock art, modifications to the landscape have taken place across the whole area, so the panels are a mixture of in situ and moved panels. No Mesolithic presence has been recorded on this moor. Monuments contemporary with the rock art carvings have been recorded from various locations: a stone circle, roughly central to the area and a pair of stones, possibly a stone setting, have been recorded, The dating for both monuments is unconfirmed, their relationships with each other and with the rock art are unknown. Several Bronze Age barrows and cairns were recorded in the 19th century, some definitively funerary monuments, others possibly clearance cairns. Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British settlements, enclosures and hillforts have been recorded across the area. It is unknown whether or not the rock art panels would have been visible in these periods but some panels are only metres away from these sites. Recent field clearance is partially responsible for the movement and relocation of some rock art panels; many small clearance cairns have been noted, and where ploughed, finds of stone artefacts are recorded.

This is the closest we come to anthropomorphism in our rock art, but this may not have been the intention. Two cups from which long grooves run down the rock are enclosed by an angular groove that loops round to enclose them. One of these cups has a small arc over it that continues downward to join the enclosing groove. The long grooves running down the rock are notched as they leave the enclosing groove, and curve slightly at the bottom. The eastern groove is met at about half its length by another groove that curves away towards the top of the rock, enclosing five smaller figures, three of them being cup, groove and penannular, cup and ring with the beginnings of another circle inside, a cup from which a duct runs uphill, with a circle round it and an arc. There are three cups, two of them echoing the 'occulus' effect of the larger figure beside it. Outside, at the bottom, is a cup, duct and ring, with an outer penannular. Three motifs to the west produce an 'umbrella' effect: each has a cup and duct running from the cup, each surrounded by penannulars. The most easterly has two inner penannulars, outside which is a large irregular groove, one end of which continues to run down the rock and join the duct from the central cup. The other end of the same outer groove drops another serpentine groove down the rock, parallel to the others. Two cups and arcs act as spacers in this design, and again we see the smaller figures being encompassed by the larger, and the continuity of the theme is enhanced by the use made of a small fault in the rock. A small cup and duct, two arcs and a groove overhead that links this motif to those on either side of it is a smaller figure that continues the flow of the design, the outer arc reaching the large arc that almost encloses the next motifs: a small central cup with a duct, and three penannulars, with a single cup added. The lower part of this figure is faint, but the groove appears to run on, and this uncertainty may be a result of the design being unfinished, as the bottom of the slope is free from erosion. Standing a little apart to the west is a figure that combines the elements of the others: a central cup around which is a penannular, another penannular, the terminals of which begin parallel grooves that run down the rock, and about half way down a straight short groove branches out to the west, and a curved groove to the east. Part of this is what we refer to as a 'keyhole' pattern. Familiarity with this rock leads me to the conclusion that this is a planned design and not a random collection of symbols. There is a unity and a fluidity in it that is aesthetically pleasing." 65,10008,"NE of Buttony, in the next large field, is a linear outcrop of sandstone that marks the SE limit of the marked rocks in this area.

On the higher level is a cup and duct with five concentric penannulars and a trace of a sixth. Outside it is a cup with a faint penannular, below which is a linear groove ending in a cup, that links it with the design on the lower level. The lower level has two distinct types of execution: there are two faintly-pecked series of incomplete concentric circles and 27 cups, mostly bold and deep. The top figure has five incomplete concentric circular grooves centred on a crack in the rock, and the other group is four concentric arcs, again centred on a crack, that may have been penannulars. All the signs are that these figures are either earlier and eroded or simply tentative and unfinished. The outer penannular of one is cut by the wide, bold groove that encloses a very well-executed cup, duct and seven concentric penannulars, which is joined to the groove by a curving line that leads to the central cup and duct. The groove enclosure, formed as an irregular four-sided figure, tapering at one end, is interrupted by four big cups that continue its line. It could be that originally the course of the whole enclosing groove was planned as a number of joined cups (a technique seen on other sites), and it also seems that the upper layer of rock was included in the whole design. In addition to the multiple concentric penannulars, there are other motifs enclosed: three cups in a line, a cup and duct with a penannular, a cup and ring with a broken circular groove outside, and two other cups." 89,10008,"From the stile, proceed 35m along fence in NW direction and then 22m SSW of the fence." 89,10011,"Gled Law is the continuation of the Dod Law scarp SW, with a similar view across the Till valley to the west, and sight of the river as it breaks through the scarp from the east to Weetwood Bridge.

Since then more carvings have been uncovered; this can be seen by comparing the two drawings that are presented. The quality of the decoration is stunning, and this is one of the most sensitive uses of the shape and variations of any rock panel that I know. The floor of the overhang is 2.5m long and 1.60 m at its widest. There is certainly a prime case for calling the decoration of this outcrop ?art?, for the people who pecked the motifs onto the rock were sensitive to the whole surface that they wished to use, taking into account all the slight variations that were presented to them. Variations in slope have determined the direction of grooves running from cups that are mostly central to concentric rings. These grooves were most likely the first use of the rock, for they occupy natural depressions and enhance them. Cups begin some of these grooves; concentric rings stop at some of these grooves and others cut through them. One long groove is drawn across the surface parallel to the width of the floor and to the straight west edge of the outcrop, almost reaching the back wall of the overhang and ending at its north edge. It is an important part in the design, dividing the motifs into two parts (referred to as right and left in this account). All the grooves run down the slope of the rock in a direction determined by slight variations in slope, except the linear groove that runs roughly parallel to the rock overhang for about 1.70m. The wide groove to the right of the main division has good examples of pick marks, although the marks on the rest of the surface seem either to have been smoothed by grinding or by water running down them (if the floor had been exposed for a long time). The motifs furthest south, up-slope are more worn than those at the bottom, and this suggests a soil accumulation at the bottom to protect them. There is an unattached groove in the right hand section, well made and deep, flanked by a cup and short groove with a slightly elongated ring. To the right are two sets of three penannulars one above the other with their cups linked by a deep groove that ends at the north edge. Between them and the central groove are to faint motifs: a cup and arc and an oval groove surrounding two small cups. Above, joined to the linear groove by its outer ring is a cup at the centre of two penannulars. At the very limit of the shelter wall is a cup and angular groove. To the right of this string of motifs is a similar parallel arrangement beginning with a cup at the centre of two rings linked by a groove from the cup to a lower cup at the centre of three broken rings; A groove from the inner ring of the lower figure almost meets the outer ring of motifs consisting of two penannulars around a large central cup, the groove from which reaches the north end of the rock. The depth of the cups is enhanced in many cases by their being in natural hollows so that they are counter-sunk. The decoration on the right hand side, apart from some faint arcs and a cup, ends on the almost vertical thin edge to the west, where there is a ring and two concentric arcs. It does not appear to have been cut through. To the left of the central division a long groove begins with a cup, passes a faint cup and arc on its left and a cup, to the centre of the deepest and clearest motif: a cup at the centre of a ring and three concentric penannulars. The groove continues to the rock edge diametrically, and another groove runs from the same cup radially. At the lowest part of the rock, which naturally comes to a point, the small triangle has become a focus of a most elaborate treatment where packed motifs flow into one; The outer penannular of the largest figure runs in to the outer deep oval surrounding a cup and groove. Between it and the central division is a faint cup and diametric groove at the centre of two ovoids. Below it is a cup and another two ovoids around a cup and short groove. To the east of the long dividing groove are four large motifs of three and two well-spaced rings united by the grooves from the central cups as they flow down the rock. One other cup completes the motifs on this triangle. The most easterly group of motifs is more complicated, perhaps because the surface was more irregular to begin with. At the top a cup and arc has a looped groove around it from the end of which loop and the central cup a groove curves down the rock. It becomes an outer ring of a motif of two concentric rings surrounding a cup from which a groove runs, parallel to another groove from the inner ring. Below is ac cup with an arc below it. The most easterly motifs are a cup at the centre of two rings from which a curved groove runs to meet the outer arc of an irregular figure of cup and ring, concentric arc, and arc. From the lateral groove at the top is a vertical groove There is a distinct design about this; in any age this is the work of an artist. The way the motifs flow into each other, taking every advantage of the natural slopes and irregularities of the rock surface is similar to the concept on the main rock on Old Bewick Hill. Fluidity and inter-connection, the spacing of grooves, and the use of what the rock had to offer in the first place must make this one of the world?s greatest sites. What significance the rock shelter had for the people who decorated it in this way is not known. The absence of anything funerary today does not preclude it from having been used in that way, but we cannot speculate any further. What we can admire is the great wide stretch of landscape that this site dominates. It is truly a very significant viewpoint. That it has been chosen for special and skilled treatment, lying in an area of similar high quality decoration, makes on e wonder what went on there." 97,10008,About half way down the slope from the plantation and in line with a row of bushes along the valley bottom (Lyham Burn). 97,10010,Turf has been removed. 97,10011,"To record this rock I (Stan Beckensall) spent hours at the site, and the accompaniment of the badgers under the earth the other side of the rockshelter wall was a unique experience: they sounded as though they were moving furniture and redecorating for the whole time, though they remained hidden!" 97,2,"The position of the site prevents any view to the south but to the north there is an extensive, uninterrupted view towards the distant Cheviot Hills, and other nearer rock art (Doddington and Horton Moors, the Hetton Burn and Lynham areas).

The main natural feature of the rock is a large irregularly shaped basin from which a channel snakes its way down the slope eastward. This feature seems to have been enhanced. To the south of the channel are groups of domino cups, a cup at the centre of three incomplete rings, a cup and arc, and at the bottom is a cup at the centre of a five-sided box with an external arc. From the arc a groove runs down the slope, parallel to a wavy groove from the box. Below this are two cups enclosed by an angular ring, with angular grooves concentric to it. Already we see two kinds of symbols: roughly circular grooves and more angular grooves. To the north of the main channel, close to it is another box-like figure with a small cup enclosed, but this is faint compared with the cup at the centre of three deeply pecked concentric rings. The cup has a small duct leading from it down the rock, the line of which is extended faintly up the rock as a radius to reach the outer ring. Other faint figures, unattached grooves and incomplete concentric rings lead to the most distinct design of all. This is a cup from which a long groove runs down the rock, almost meeting the channel. Around the cups are three concentric rings and a penannular. Then an unusual variation on the cup and ring theme appears: a small cup above the central one has its own ring that is attached to the fourth penannular around the main central cup. The next two concentric rings follow that pattern, giving the seven concentric rings a distinct crown. The groove from this central cup is joined by a groove from the centre of three concentric penannulars that are distinctly angular. Close by is a square groove with nothing at its centre ? an unusual motif. Above the large motif are some faint cups and rings. South of the main motif is a cup at the centre of five concentric rings, this time with no duct leading from it. It lies on the edge of the outcrop, and there is another duct above it leading from the main one, this time away from the channel to the east edge of the rock. The depth of cups and grooves and perhaps the action of water as it runs down the rock has preserved the main figures that we see today. Fainter figures are not necessarily eroded, but may be pecked on faintly with less sense of purpose." 121,10008,There are motifs on the crown of the rock 10m SW of public footpath.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 156,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 156,2,"For the history of Weetwood Cairn excavation see Beckensall Archive notes.

Not any more." 158,10006,"A marked rock on the south edge of the ridge (not the only exposed outcrop here) has some complex motifs, in which the structure of the rock plays a part. There is also some 19th Century vandalism, where initials and dates have been incised (HCR 1834, for example ). The rock slopes southwards, and there are two levels. The ridge that forms the division has a number of erosion channels that have been enhanced as branching wide grooves. On the upper surface are three cups, a cup and ring that ends in two parallel grooves of the keyhole type, surrounded by an outer penannular, the end of one groove forming a third parallel. Below this is a pear-shape figure similar to that at Weetwood 5: a cup and duct has a penannular, a second arc, then a third penannular with its grooves extended southwards to meet the end of the duct. A fourth groove, a penannular, is concentric to it. The tops of all these penannulars are all squared off. There is a cup and single ring below this. To the SW is a curving motif: a cup with a sickle-shaped groove round it, a 'shepherd's crook' above that, and all of it enclosed by an extended, deep L-shaped groove. This figure lies on the ridge edge, and to the west is a penannular and a cup that has a long, slightly serpentine groove, that reaches one of the main channels after a small gap. Beside it, lower down the slope, is a large cup with a deep, wide duct, and a ring around it. The rest of the SW part of the rock has a number of faint cups and a cup and arc, but there is also a long, linear groove, and a cup, ring and duct at the centre of four other rings. The duct from the central ring is directed towards the central channel that flows from N-S down the rock. Where the channels link, one of the enclosed spaces has an inverted U-shaped groove, faintly picked. On the eastern part of the rock there are several figures, below the ridge. There is a cup and two rings, lightly linked To a cup surrounded by a D-shaped groove, itself linked to the beginning of the channels. Below these two is a small cup with a very thin duct, and three irregular rings, the outer one distinctly flattened at the bottom of the slope. At the foot of the slope, where the rock is relatively smooth, a large, flat-bottomed cup is the centre of three wide rings, with a cup below. Above this is a small cup and ring and a cup and penannular. In the south corner where the rock steps down is a cup and duct, a penannular, and an outer oval-shaped groove where the duct ends. There are other, fainter figures: an arc, a cup, a penannular and an unusual groove outside it that dips at both ends to the penannular, with an arc above it. The figure is attached to another below it by two grooves that link up with the circle that surrounds a cup and duct projecting further down the rock. One of the interesting things about this rock is the way in which its natural surface irregularities and its slope have been incorporated into the design." 158,10008,"About 400 m ENE of Radio Station.

A few centimetres away is a cup with a penannular and two small cups that lead to Whitsunbank 1b. The motifs are two sets of cups and rings that are joined by a faint groove, and look like eyes. Their position has been chosen to use a natural fault in the rock that arcs around them. One figure has a cup surrounded by an inner ring that has two openings. The gap of an outer penannular faces the second figure, and its curve is broken at the back. The second figure is a cup and penannular, the gap aligned with the gap of the first (N).

Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic. The most important feature of this site is the distribution of marked cobbles. Not only did they form part of the mound, but four kerbstones were cup marked and have been left buried in situ.

A large, possibly natural cup lies at the end, and a cup and small arc. The most interesting feature, however, is where a rectangular piece of outcrop has been removed from the surface, possibly with cup and ring designs. The space left by this removal, a flat base, has been pecked with a pristine cup that has a bending groove leading from it down the stepped rock into the earth, with concentric angular grooves, square with slightly rounded corners around the cup. Every pick mark is visible, as though it had been made yesterday. What is so important is that this shows that the pecking of the upper and lower surfaces represents a possible difference in time scale, one eroded and the other fresh. Had a slab been removed from the top surface? For what purpose? A cist? We don?t know. It was certainly removed for some purpose in prehistoric times when rock art was in use in both periods. The space created was reused, and resanctified, if this art form had a religious significance.

The largest motif echoes the design on 6: a ring around a central cup has an arced groove curling away from it to the edge of the rock, enclosing two cups, the lower with a groove and the end of a faint ring, with a half-ovoid between it and the main surrounding groove." 171,10011,"In February 1973 a group of students from Alnwick College of Education, based at the castle, had asked me to take them to see some rock art. Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic.

Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic.

There are a few scattered outcrops on both sides of this valley, with the carved panels all on the southeastern-facing slope. The panels have a wide view along and across the valley and lake, as well as some of the surrounding area. Beyond the River Till other higher portions of the Fell Sandstone Group form ring from north to south, via the east. The Cheviot Hills can be seen westwards. The highest portions of the Weetwood Moor area can also be seen to the northeast. There are no immediate monuments associated with the rock art panels here, though cairns and possible standing stones have been recorded nearby. Neither are there any cairnfields. Quarrying of some of the outcrops is evidenced by sheer rock edges, and there are agricultural improvements of the flatter parts of the area. These activities are thought to be Post Medieval and Modern in date, and may have destroyed further rock art panels and prehistoric monuments in this area." 180,3,Sandstone 180,7,Sandstone 180,1,"Main carving is located on the almost flat top of the boulder.

A large, shallow concave cup or basin is present to the north." 181,10006,"This is a complex outcrop slab; here we can see superimposition without being able to determine the length of time lapse. To the right is a cup at the centre of four concentric arcs which may have continued as rings had not two deep spaced cups been pecked on, joined by a thick curved groove at the bottom and a thinner straight groove connecting the tops of the cups. It was referred to as the ?Ship rock? during the dig. At the bottom edge is a cup and ring with a near-oval groove attached. Above that is a small cup and ring with some small cups. Two more cups, one with a little groove complete the design on the right hand side before a natural line in the rock is reached. The left-hand side has again a cup at the centre of four arcs. The groove from the cup is joined to the outer arc of a motif centred on a cup and groove with a large cup flanking it.

As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic. The most important feature of this site is the distribution of marked cobbles. Not only did they form part of the mound, but four kerbstones were cup marked and have been left buried in situ. The rest have been removed to the Museum of Antiquities except for Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn n, which is at Berwick Museum, and Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn r , which could not be relocated during the project. The decoration on the removed cobbles varies from simple cups to a complex cup-penannular-radiate design. This complex design was on a cobble found south of the projected south edge of the outer kerb ? unless the mound was longer along its north-south axis, which we don?t know because there was only a light scatter of stone there and more possibility that the outcrop had been cleared of any covering stone. For anyone trying to peck a cup into a cobble, the danger is that the rock will split with the force of the blow. It takes skill." 186,10016,The name Fowberry means the fortification of the foal. 187,10003,Sheep walking on the carvings. 187,10008,28m NE of the wall and 77m SSW of the public footpath. 187,10015,The rock has been quarried 187,10016,Coldmartin means the farm near the pool. 187,10018,art description from Stan's drawing 187,2,"This is one of several panels situated on the western side of the Weetwood block, on the southeastern flanks of a largely dry valley running southwest to Coldmartin Lough.

A faint angular groove joins the outer circle from the right. To the left of this motif is a large cup at the centre of two concentric rings, a groove leading out from the inner circle and flanked by a cup.

He showed me photographs of rock art that I had not seen before and offered to take me to see it. I did so; TV became involved once they heard of the discovery, and we had this picture of Jim alighting at the rocks from his horse and of me talking about them on the spot. In 1982 the area was ploughed and trees planted, but these rocks were fortunately avoided (at least one of the workers knew the value of rock art). By that time the site was well known and reported. The site has always been difficult of access, not only because it is private. Now it may not be worth a visit, as the patterns on the rocks are almost totally obscured, even if you know where to look for them." 202,10016,A law is a hill. 202,10019,Could not be relocated during the project. The panel is in a plantation planted in 1982. 202,2,"The panel lies in the middle of a plantation, in a slight clearing 50 m E of a main track and approx. 116 m N of southerly plantation wall. George Jobey recorded a group of small cairns in the area. The panel lies on the western edge of one of these groups. A large boulder measuring (2.2 x 1m) is located 5 m NW. It has a small cairn on top and a modern carving on its south vertical face pointing at the panel presumably as a marker for the carved panel. This area projects forward out of the main Fell Sandstone Group ridge to the west almost peninsular-like, roughly flat-topped with steep slopes to the north, west and south with the rock art panels found above the slopes. The ground falls away more gently to the east, before rising to the main ridge. An established evergreen plantation covers the whole area. The present state of vegetation precludes much comment about the views from the site, however, it might be supposed the views obtained if the trees were cleared would be similar to Chatton Park Hill main panel group. With views to and along the main ridge, as well as across the Till Valley to other Cheviot and Fell Sandstone Group Hills, including the rock art areas, such as ?Chatton Park, Old Bewick and Simonside on the main ridge, and the Titlington, Hunterheugh and ?Midstead islands. For the northern and southern panels views might also go back to the main Fell Sandstone Group ridge to the northeast and southeast respectively, and portions of the Cheviots though hindered across the peninsular itself. No other archaeological monuments contemporary with the rock art have been recorded nearby. Other rock art panels have been identified in the more general area, as well as a possible long cairn by the Ox-Eye stone.

The motifs carved are unusual, possibly displaying several phases of carving or enhancement. At the southern end, a large ring encloses a worn cup and ring and a further cup. A curvilinear groove runs from the outer ring to the south. Directly north is another large ringed motif incorporating a ring, two cups and, centrally, a cup and ring. An almost eroded groove forms a loop and runs out from the central cup west, through the outer rings and enclosing three worn cups. To the north east, a sub-rectangular groove encloses a cup and ring with an eroded looped groove running out to the west. Other motifs to the north, include two small cups with rings, a cup with two arcs, a cup with one arc and a further arc, all probably complete rings originally. Another example of a circular groove enclosing multiple cups and a ring can be seen north west of the sub-rectangular motif. Several other cups, some deep are scattered about the stones surface. A number of motifs visible on 1981 photographs cannot now be made out, presumably due to the corrosive effect of larch needle decay.

The area rises from undulating eastern slopes above West Horton to a plateau height of Dod Law, above steep scarp edges which in places, on the south and west, comprises blocky crags. The main moor area is broadly divided into two by a stream running south to north. This is a typical Fell Sandstone Group terrace with western crags and eastern dip-slope, draining in all directions, through established courses at the fringes, giving the appearance of an island of substantially higher ground. Gled Law issues from the flanks of Doddington Moor. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions, to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, over the Till, Hetton Burn, Doddington Dene and other valleys. These views include many other rock art areas. There is an extensive series of rock art panels across the area (in some cases called Dod Law), with a number of contemporary monuments. Since the creation of the rock art, modifications to the landscape have taken place across the whole area, so the panels are a mixture of in situ and moved panels. No Mesolithic presence has been recorded on this moor. Monuments contemporary with the rock art carvings have been recorded from various locations: a stone circle, roughly central to the area and a pair of stones, possibly a stone setting, have been recorded, The dating for both monuments is unconfirmed, their relationships with each other and with the rock art are unknown. Several Bronze Age barrows and cairns were recorded in the 19th century, some definitively funerary monuments, others possibly clearance cairns. Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British settlements, enclosures and hillforts have been recorded across the area. It is unknown whether or not the rock art panels would have been visible in these periods but some panels are only metres away from these sites. Recent field clearance is partially responsible for the movement and relocation of some rock art panels; many small clearance cairns have been noted, and where ploughed, finds of stone artefacts are recorded.

The central panel has a rosette type of design: two concentric oval grooves surrounding a central cup, itself at the centre of a circle of cups. On one side is an occulus, and on the other side a motif has been sheered away by quarrying. The most southerly panel has a cup and ring surrounded by an incomplete angular groove, a small cup and ring, three cups, and a three-sided angular groove around a cup.

The rock art has survived on an elongated outcrop ridge aligned roughly SE-NW, partly tree-covered, highest at its SE end. The view from the ridge is widest and furthest towards Dod Law, an area of major rock art that rises from a valley between it and the Hare Law land, although the view of the Doddington Dean valley is obscured by land that rises to 130m. The view to the W is limited by the ridge of Doddington North Moor. To the E lies the Devil's Causeway, a major Roman road, but the view from the marked rocks to the east is blocked by a slight rise in the outcrop ridge. To the N the fields rise gently, and include the site of the English camp at Barmoor before the Battle of Flodden in 1513. To the NW is Roughting Linn, and to the NE the sea is reached via some undulating ground. This N-NE landscape is extensive, and today is mainly pasture. Tate (1865) tells us, ""At intervals along the range, Mr. Charles Rea of Doddington discovered several inscriptions which had been covered over by turf. There are five groups of these inscriptions, and thirteen figures are traceable; all are of the common types; and one is somewhat angular in the lower part of the circles."" His drawings of the motifs do not have much resemblance to what we see today, and he does not mention the impact of quarrying." 379,10015,The rock has been quarried. 379,10016,A law is a hill. 379,10018,have only included one set of dimensions but there are two - 440 x 250 not logged 379,2,"This series of rock art panels runs southeast to northwest along a ridge, with its highest part at the southeast.

This is a locally prominent ridge, especially from the west, with wide views all around over rolling country to distant higher Fell Sandstone Group, Cheviot and Kyloe Hills. No other rock art areas appear to be visible. The crag has been quarried along much of the visible length, resulting in a sheer face of moderate height. It is unknown when the quarrying took place or how the crags originally appeared. The quarrying activity appears as straight edges, with sheer faces and stepped rock areas. A number of wedge marks can be seen in some of the rock art panels. There are no associated monuments contemporary with the rock carvings.

The area rises steeply from the north, south and west, with ploughed lower flanks, and a plantation making it a prominent, recognisable, location. The western side is craggy, with other slopes steep, grass- and bracken-covered. The eastern slopes gently undulate towards the main ridge. No features contemporary with the creation of the rock art panels can be identified as a number of post-prehistoric modifications have taken place. Excellent views can be obtained from the promontory edges towards the distant Cheviot Hills to the west, over lower-lying Weetwood and Fowberry areas. Other rock art areas visible are Doddington/Dod Law and Horton Moors, Hetton Burn, Amerside Law, and on the main ridge from Bowdon Doors to Old Bewick, and distant Titlington and Simonside areas. Distant views can be obtained along the Hetton Burn and Till Valleys. Similar locations have yielded flint artefacts, usually at crag-lines. Here, though, the ?crags? are the result of quarrying, possibly destroying such evidence if present. Neolithic axe-heads have been recorded from nearby, suggesting some tree clearance. There are no obvious Bronze Age monuments or finds recorded. The gentle slopes between the hillfort and ridge have been extensively ploughed and cleared of smaller stones in the Post Medieval period, which would have destroyed traces of any Bronze Age monuments. The Iron Age hillfort is located at the highest point of the area, with a possible Iron Age-Romano-British settlement recorded on the ridge opposite. In addition to the Post Medieval ploughing, quarrying has taken place across the area, particularly on the western scarp and southeast of the hillfort." 381,3,Sandstone 381,7,Sandstone 381,4,"Central cup which is raised, surrounded by broad irregular ring with two run off grooves.

It is largely flat, ending with steep western and southern slopes down to the Till. It is based on a low Fell Sandstone Group terrace, which occasionally outcrops in the western slopes. There are craggy portions across the area with steep, localized, slopes. Slopes to the east are generally gentler, extending eastwards to Buttony. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, and over and along the Till valley. This includes some rock art areas, such as the north of Weetwood Moor and the main Chatton Park-Old Bewick ridge. The crags and rising ground of Doddington Moor/Dod Law prevent an all-round view of distant areas. The gentle slopes have allowed Post Medieval ploughing of the ground to be undertaken with disturbance and destruction of archaeological monuments. A few monuments contemporary with the rock art panels of the Neolithic/Early Bronze Age have been recorded. These include Cuddie?s Cave rock shelter on the western flanks of Gled Law from which rock art has been recorded, as well as barrows and cairns with grave goods and others which are possibly related to agricultural clearance. These were discovered in the 19th century, as ploughing started on the flatter portions of the area. The steep slopes have escaped the ploughing and a number of monuments have been recorded. These enclosures and settlements are thought to date from the Bronze Age onwards, or the later prehistoric periods, remaining as earthworks.

This area is a low Fell Sandstone Group block that rises from east to west. Rock art panels are found along a slightly elevated ridge, rising generally with the trend, but with slight slopes to the north and south. Much bedrock is exposed on the ridge top, with low natural and, where quarried, higher crags along the flanks. The area is mainly rough grazing and moorland, bounded by stonewalls and fences, separated from improved and cleared grasslands for stock and gamebird plantations. Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views. The Cheviot and Fell Sandstone Hills distantly ring the site to the west, north and east with other rock art areas visible, such as Doddington Moor/Dod Law, Gled Law, Buttony and Horton areas, as well as the main Fell Sandstone Group arc. The more elevated portions of this area overlook the Milfield Basin and River Till lowland areas. Other prehistoric monuments in the area includes two funerary cairns. One of these, Weetwood Cairn, on the southern flanks of the ridge incorporates further panels, though it is not clear whether this was constructed contemporary with the creation of the rock art. The other cairn is in the west moorland area. A pair of stones, previously thought standing stones, have been discounted in previous reconnaissance of the area. There are no later prehistoric monuments in the immediate area, though a series of settlements is known nearby. Post Medieval activity has, however, taken place. Much evidence of quarrying is present with many ?steps?, and sheer and sharp edges of remaining rock at the east of the ridge. A stonewalled enclosure has been recorded in the western part of the area, continuing into the adjacent plantation. These constructions, together with the adjacent stonewalls, and clearance of the lower slopes and surrounding fields, may have destrroyed other prehistoric monuments and rock art panels.

The fifth and sixth grooves from the south end in the same cup, with an additional short groove linking them. The seventh groove bends away from the ring, straightens out and ends in a cup that is shared with a groove running from a single cup. The latter groove touches the ring around a cup, from which a groove runs down the rock to a large cup above a fainter cup and ring.

There is a countersunk cup, some midget cups and a cup and penannular is linked by a natural groove to another. 1b: slopes to the south; a cluster of nine cups occupies the top end, then three cups of decreasing size are linked to form a groove that meets the outer ring of a penannular and concentric ring around a cup from which the flow continues with a groove from the cup to meet an unfinished cup and penannular. The groove continues from this cup to the edge of the rock. There are three large cups and six tiny ones to the west. 1c: a natural groove in the rock is surrounded by many cups of different sizes, one of which has a faint ring. 1d: is a very unusual marked surface on outcrop that is placed within the kerb of a greatly disturbed cairn. In the latter, a serpentine groove presumably continues to run under the cairn kerb although this has not been excavated or disturbed. The groove bends into itself around a cup. Below this is an oval with a small cup inside, and three small cups. At the centre of the outcrop is a ?keyhole? entrance to the cupped centre of a figure made up of three concentric rings with an outer arc ending in a very large cup that is partly natural.

Clive Waddington has published a [http://rockart.ncl.ac.uk/interactive/documents/outreach/Hunterheugh_BAarticle.pdf,short report] on the excavation in British Archaeology (2004, vol 78), and together with Aron Mazel and Ben Johnson (2005, in press) has prepared a detailed report on the excavation that will be published in Archaeologia Aeliana. Following a visit to Hunterheugh 1 after the excavation, Stan Beckensall prepared a short report on his observations. This report is presented below. PREHISTORIC ROCK ART AT HUNTERHEUGH CRAGS Stan Beckensall (April 2004) 1. Background exploration. The first reference to rock markings at Hunterheugh is in the Northumberland County History, which says, ?There are indications of plain cups on the wide expanse of rocks near the top of the hill, but in the absence of rings or ducts there remains an element of doubt about them.? No precise location was given, and as the outcrop is extensive, this could refer to the excavated site or to an outcrop with cup marks to the NW by the public footpath to Eglingham. Tim Gates? discovery during the survey for a gas pipeline survey of decorated rock among cairns to the north of the excavated site was unpublished. Paul Frodsham showed me a slide of this site, which led to my investigation, recording and publication of rock art on that northern hill site. Another site that I discovered has now been excavated. Only those parts protruding from stone and vegetation were drawn: the rest was left for excavation. My recording (Beckensall, 1995) included the Gates? discovery. New discoveries by the public footpath to the NW appeared in Beckensall (2001), but the whole rocks were not drawn ? only those parts with motifs. This followed some very significant discoveries on Beanley Moor to the north that have been recorded for the Archive. The potential of the Hunterheugh 1 site for significant new information lay in its being decorated outcrop on which a cairn was built. This links it with sites such as Lordenshaw, Fowberry, The Ringses and Dod Law, where the same phenomenon occurs (Beckensall 2001). The relationship between decorated outcrop and a cairn is best seen at Fowberry, where a double kerbed cairn with cup-marked kerbs and more elaborate cup and ring marked cobbles was excavated on top of a long decorated outcrop. There was no sign of a burial there, and the only diagnostic find was a flint scraper sealed under the edge of the cairn stones. Hunterheugh 1 provided an opportunity for more information on the relationship between cairns and outcrop. There have been many marked stones found in cairnfields recently, some embedded in cairn structures, throughout Northumberland. 2. The making of motifs Much of the decorated rock surfaces had been recorded before the excavation, but new panels and motifs emerged. There are two distinct features: motifs that appear faint and warn by weathering, and pristine motifs that show clearly how they were made, with tool marks visible. Such features appear at all rock art sites. The ?faintness? of a motif may be the result of erosion; ridges and grooves become smoothed by water action as a result of long exposure. For how long, we do not know. The other reason is that the motifs were pecked on only lightly ? tentative, unfinished sometimes. The most important example in Northumberland of both erosion and fresh pecking is at North Plantation, Fowberry, where decorated outcrop incorporated into an Iron Age (?) enclosure has had a slab of its surface removed and a freshly-pecked motif made on the exposed base (Beckensall 2001). It has been suggested that such a removed slab might have been used as a cist slab or as a kerb. ?Fresh? motifs exhibit all the stages of their making; it is possible to deduce what kinds of tools were used. At Hunterheugh 1, as well as at other sites, the tool appears to be either a punch like a blunt nail or a wider chisel-shaped edge. In some cases both types have been used on the same motif, or by one tool that could do both. As these presumably belong to a pre-metal age, we assume the tool to be made of a rock harder than the Fell Sandstone sheets of outcrop, such as whinstone, and to have been impacted with a mallet or used as a hand tool with a pad to protect the palm. There have been recent experiments to produce such effects. What is strange is that no tool has been found on a site, with the possible exception of Dod Law (Beckensall 2001), although this has an uncertain context. Motifs were not added to the rock without consideration of the form of the rock itself, and often the natural configuration would determine the arrangements of the motifs. The most satisfying designs (to the modern eye) are those that use to the full the surface irregularities and slopes. Slope is particularly important, as grooves running from cups follow the rock downwards, and the spacing of motifs may take into account the natural divisions formed by cracks. At Hunterheugh 1 there are two kinds of surface: a fairly continuous smooth, sloping area with few natural irregularities, and rather lumpy surfaces. There are also hollows used to counter-sink motifs 3. Description of the motifs The most complex motifs are those to the east on a step in the rock, and they face east. No new ones other than cups and a cup and ring were found further east, and they were on a step down, part of the same section of outcrop. The cairn lay on the continuation of the north complex motif, and there were a few other minor cups and cups and rings to the immediate west. All these motifs are ?fresh?. The two major motifs are distinctly different, although clearly arranged in the same direction, facing east in a slight flat hollow that today drains rain water from them. The southerly design has clear chisel-like and punched tool marks. At the centre is a cup towards which a radial groove runs but does not reach beyond the inner ring. The cup is the centre of two penannulars which are looped at their ends. A very thin groove from the cup reaches a bar running from one end of the inner penannular to the other, preventing the opening to the cup from being a complete ?keyhole? construction. The inner groove on the right runs further down the rock, and opposite to it some tooling has been placed to allow water to drain out of the motifs, left. An extra concentric outer arc was not meant to continue around the whole figure; it stops at a crudely-cut basin in which the chisel tool marks have cut into layered sedimentary rock. Outside this, left, are two cups, and above is a group of three. On the slightly raised rock to the west are three linked cups in a row and a pecked cup and ring, The northern motif, although sharing some of these characteristics, is different. In the former, the tool marks are much more definite and heavy; here, although the serpentine grooves are a feature, they are made with a very fine pick, becoming fainter towards the north. A recessed cup and another cup form an asymmetric centre to a looped groove that encloses them, twisting to echo the linked penannulars of the first figure, but continuing fainter to loop around in a bisected circle with a faint cup. The two motifs share sufficient characteristics to make it possible to assume that they were made at the same time, despite the contrast in picking techniques, and are aligned together. The north one has a made hollow in the same direction as the one to the south. On a slight rise there is a pristine pecked cup and ring and a cup. At a lower level on a step are two cups and a cup and ring. The motifs are unusual and special even in a county that surprises by the variations that prehistoric people managed to get out of simple symbolism, but lie outside the cairn. Further west on another level of rock is a deeply hacked motif discovered by excavation. It is a deep cup connected by an angular grove of the same depth to a cup with a thin ring around it. Its depth makes it stand out, on a north-south alignment, following the shape of the rock. Also to the east on the north side is a roughly rectangular block that has much fainter, eroded cup and single ring motifs, those at the eastern edge in a line. Other small cup and single ring motifs appear on the same rock. These too were discovered by excavation. Why they should be fainter than the more complex motifs may be accounted for by their being on the outside of the cairn, and thus exposed. Immediately west is a triangular shaped outcrop sandwiched between the cracks formed by lines of bedding, on which is a heavily-pecked cup and rings and a cup. There is some iron in the rock here, and the cutting of the motifs must have called for more strength and persistence. As all the pick marks are clear, it is possible that this part of the rock was covered over early in its history. At the centre of the site is an already-recorded group of faint simple cup marks, with a deeper ?new? cup on its north edge. The remaining decorated surfaces lie to the west. Most of these are recorded as rock 1a, b, and c. To the south a new series of motifs was excavated, all at a lower level than the others. In a long naturally sunken recess a cup surrounded by a pecked circle is the beginning of a heavily pecked, long groove like a stretched triangle. On either side the cup has two motifs of the cup and ring type, and other cups already drawn. North of this, in the same alignment, is a panel of cups and linked cups already recorded (as 1b). A strong feature of this is the way the cups are clustered at the top of the rock, then linked like a necklace, running down the slope to link up with a cup and two concentric rings and a cup with a faint ring that is unfinished as an arc of small cups marks where the groove was planned to be. The last area of rock to the north-west has been recorded at the top as 1e, with a packed cluster of cups. The newly exposed section on the slope to the north has cup and ring mark designs, some with grooves from the central cup, and all faint. The largest has a cup and two concentric rings. 4. Conclusion The excavation has produced only a few additional cups and cup and ring marks, but this has completed the total picture of what is on the rock surfaces. My report, submitted with detailed drawings and photographs, has drawn attention to the fact that it is not possible to make any observations about chronology from the evidence of pristine and worn motifs, as erosion is bound to affect exposed rocks. It is up to the excavators to relate any other finds to a possible sequence of events. I am not confident from what I have seen at the site that this is going to be possible. Even the most preserved motifs are those not actually covered by the cairn, and their preservation will have to be accounted for by natural covering of, for example, wind-blown soil and vegetation. Evidence of quarrying on the total mass of rock is ambiguous. Questions that I would ask are: what tools were available in Neolithic or early Bronze Age times (the possible age of the rock markings) to split rocks along their seams? The whole area has been re-used by generations after the rock art was put there, for there is a high concentration of enclosures for stock and for settlement, including a field wall that uses the outcrop and cairn as a guide. The excavation is only a glimpse. More work will have to be done, for example on the cairns and rock art on the hill to the north and on the enclosures themselves to find some answers. Drawing of enclosure marked rock It is significant that the rock art extends into the Iron Age (?) enclosures themselves: a group of domino cups, similar to those on Chatton Park Hill and Dod Law have now been recorded among grooves that are partly natural and partly artificial enclosures. A considerable amount of stone has been quarried from the wider area to build stockades/enclosures, and one wonders whether the excavated rock may have provided some. Our archive for rock art includes panels further to the east and to the north west. It now includes a panel on the outcrop edge of one enclosure to the west. It is possible that any future excavation that concentrates on the enclosures will find rock art that has been taken from elsewhere and used as building material or has been deliberately incorporated because it was recognised as a significant part of the past." 473,10018,check nearest access point for all HH panels 473,2,"The outcrop is about 500m from a bridleway which runs from Titlington Mount Farm to Edlingham. It is on a line of outcrops, S of Hunterheugh Crags hill top, which runs from the settlement to Hunterheugh 3 and 4 above Titlington Burn. The panel lies within the Hunterheugh plateau of largely flat-topped moorland. The edges of the plateau (extending northwards to be called Beanley Moor), are mainly steep slopes, with a series of crags of the Fell Sandstone Group. The western flank of the plateau is a long gentle slope to the height of the terrace. The plateau and most of the sloping ground is heather moor. The site affords wide views. The opposing and adjacent Midstead plateau and other more distant Fell Sandstone Group are seen as terraces and crags on the horizon to the south and west; also visible are the Callaly/Thrunton Crags and Titlington Mount areas, over the Titlington Burn and adjacent lower land. This lower land is maintained as improved grassland retained as pasture and evergreen plantations. Views into the plateau are limited by the flat-topped surface and small, localised crags. A variety of archaeological remains have been recorded near the panels and plateau more generally, some of which may be contemporary with the rock carvings. No Mesolithic finds have been recorded around the crags. Nearby burnt mounds have been excavated by the Northumberland Archaeological Group and radiocarbon dated to the Neolithic/Earlier Bronze Age. Other Bronze Age funerary and agricultural clearance monuments are also recorded in the area. A large enclosed settlement of the Romano-British period lies at a western, craggy, edge of the main plateau and panels have also been recorded here.

His interpretation was of at least two phases of carving. The older carvings appear more eroded and designed for the surfaces on which they were carved, with individual motifs interrelated and often connected. In general, the more pristine motifs are widely spaced, are seldom connected and have not been combined to make an artistic whole decorating the rock surface. Waddington's interpretation was that these motifs were probably more recent, and carved in a different tradition, maybe to replace older carvings that had been removed. They were probably covered soon after they were made by the building of a large Bronze Age burial cairn which had protected them from subsequent erosion. Motifs Q and L, partially covered by the dispersed cairn, were originally described as Hunterheugh 1d by Beckensall (2001). Water flows in an interesting manner along the concentric rings and connecting grooves of motif Q from a deep cup at one end of the groove system, but whether this was ever the intention must be uncertain. The serpentine groove of motif L is, however, much more shallow and perhaps unfinished. Large number of motifs including single cups, clusters of cups, cups with single and double rings and more complex variations. Some of the more pristine motifs which were previously covered show tool marks." 473,9,Heather cover (now cleared) 474,2,"Situated about 40m SE of Hunterheugh Crags hilltop; 85m NNW (and in sight) of Hunterheugh 1; 30m NNE of Hunterheugh 3.

When uncovered, this is an impressive panel and forms an integrated design of cups with multiple or single rings, natural and artificial curving grooves and a large number of single cups. This panel is quite distinct from the scattered and generally unrelated motifs of panel 1. The covered parts have been well preserved from weathering and retain the impressions of tool marks in contrast to the uncovered parts. Curving grooves from multi-ringed cups flow down the rock surface, joining with other grooves and natural cracks. Single cups also seem to have been carved at the start of cracks and grooves." 474,9,Heather 474,10004,Part of the outcrop has been covered with cairn material. 474,10006,"The freshness of the pecking suggests that much of the outcrop has been covered since the motifs were made. The drawing shows the difference in depth, freshness and erosion of the motifs. The north part of the rock has an arrangement of distinct cups, some in lines. The largest motif is a cup and faint serpentine groove at the centre four angular rings. Among other cups are six motifs: a cup with a short groove running into a natural crack has two penannulars; a cup is at the centre of a ring with a small outer arc, below which is a very clearly pick-marked cup and groove at the centre of three penannulars, with an angular arc concentric to the outer ring. Below this is a similarly clearly picked cup and groove with two penannulars, the end of the groove linking with a long curving groove from a cup at the centre of a ring and grooves that are not complete or symmetrically placed. A groove from a cup joins the groove from the above motif?s cup sideways. To the left of this irregular figure is a cup and groove at the centre of two angular rings with a third broken concentric ring on the outside. At the west end of the rock is a cluster of four cups.

There is a cup and broken ring with a groove running from the terminal." 576,10008,"Site 5 at Snook Bank ends at a massive stone on the boundary fence where a wood begins. The path that leads from Snook Bank to Caller Crags runs through the wood as a wide track beyond Wellhope. To the east of the path is a block of outcrop, quarried on its western edge and overgrown with heather and trees on the east. It slopes slightly to the east; the surface is fairly uniform and its irregularities are used in the placing of motifs. The GPS reading was provided by Andrew Curtis on 6 May 2006." 576,2,"The outcrop is on fairly flat, poorly-drained ground on the W edge of a forest ride, now with very limited views in all directions. It is partly obscured by trees and is approximately 62m N of the boundary fence. It does provide an apparent connection between the rock art at Snook Bank and that to the north. A large stone shown on the 1:25 000 OS map as 'Grey Mare' to the S of this panel (at approximate grid reference NU 1126 0601), and now wholly within the dense forest plantation, was examined but did not appear to be carved. Although the map shows the bridleway is located just E, the density of tree growth has made the forest ride the de facto route. SMR 4237 records finds of Mesolithic material found in the land when it was ploughed for forest planting. Other finds may come to light when it is felled." 576,3,Sandstone 576,7,Sandstone 576,1,"The panel was originally given an incorrect location in the Beckensall Archive although this has now been corrected. It is still inexact in the HER (4255). The Beckensall description of its location is accurate. The outcrop has been quarried on its W edge and the E edge, to which it slopes, and is overgrown with heather and trees. The main motif is a cup with a short groove running to the NE, surrounded by a penannular. This appears to have been carved in a shallow circular basin and it is likely that this, and an outer fractured region, have probably been artificially created. There are many scattered cups, clustered particularly on the W side. A large number of cups, estimated at least twenty, of a reasonable size and possibly another twenty smaller ones." 576,9,Heather 577,1,"A large outcrop, mostly turf-covered, on E side of a low mound. The rock is divided by a large number of parallel cracks, predominantly running from N-S but also in other directions. The smaller cups in particular, appear to be associated with these cracks and may be natural features formed in lines of weakness, particularly those E of the large cups. A crack running W-E that starts at one of the larger cups to the W, for example, initiates a chain of smaller, misshapen depressions particularly at the junction with fine cracks in the N-S direction. One of these in the centre of the panel is much deeper than the others and probably has a natural origin. The main feature of the panel are five large cups in an arc with two others to the E and W. They vary in size but are symmetrical in shape. Natural cracks run into some of these cups as well but others of them are on areas of the rock surface between cracks. They give a strong impression of having been human-made. A line of four very small cups occurs on the SW side of the panel below turf. They are very shallow, not associated with the network of cracks, and may show peck-marks, although mechanical damage cannot be ruled out. Minimum of twenty cups of varying size and depth, plus another four very small ones. Largest two cups are about 10cm in diameter." 577,2,"On the E side of a low mound that is probably formed from the same outcrop, 300m ENE of Hawick Farm, close to a footpath that runs E from the farm. Another small outcrop lies 20m to the N, beyond which the field shows clear ridge and furrow ploughing. A spring lies some 30m to the SE. This is on the line of a shallow re-entrant that runs down from the direction of the farm and has been almost completely filled-in by rubble in the same field, just S of the panel. It may have been the past location of a small water-course. The upper reaches of the River Wansbeck, which flows out of Sweethope Lough some 2km to the W, runs through the small wooded valley of Crook Dean about 500m to the E. There is an unfortified enclosure of undetermined age, on the SE slope of a low ridge at South Berry Hills, about 400m to the N (SMR 9547), and a prominent Bronze Age round cairn, 1km NE of the panel along the same ridge (SMR 9558), although these are both too far away to determine association. Ray Fell lies about 2km to the N and there has been no other rock art recorded in the area. SMR 9550 (NMR 20997) records an Iron Age uni-vallate hillfort on Great Wanney Crag (N of Sweethope Lough at NY 9319 8338), and describes a cup marked stone with a groove at NY 9323 8340. A group of at least five others, but well worn, is said to lie on the edge of the cliff face within the enclosure. Observation of these cannot rule out an origin by processes of natural erosion that often occur on the edges of outcrop rock in such locations.

It had been unloaded from the JCB which had been its means of transport, onto an old sofa in the farm grounds. The current owner says it had been brought from a site near Belsay circa 2004 (where he was involved in contracted work) thus preventing it from destruction. It has now been placed as a feature on a gravel base outside the farmhouse. The actual find site is not known. It may have originally been outcropping rock or a detached slab, possibly from a cist." 579,10006,"The cup and ring motifs are a cup connected by a straight groove to another cup.

This was a major discovery, as runes in such a position are rare or even unique. Consultation with experts revealed they may have been part of a sacred text, and that their meaning was either ?to leave or leave behind?, from the Old English verb laefen, or ?a remnant or relic,? from laf. An alternative is that they are Old Norse, from the noun lof, meaning ?praise or permission,? or laf, meaning ?bread or sustenance.? It is difficult to say why the panel is in this place, but if the trees were removed it would command another extensive view, and be a marker to a higher place on the scarp." 579,2,"The rock is situated 7.5m NE of a small, and often indistinct, path through the woods which at this point runs in a hollow way. The outcrop lies at the S end of a line of outcrops which curve away through dense forest to the N. At this point, the conifer plantation is broken by a large patch of rhododendrons with deciduous trees below. The nearest other rock art panels to this site are found 1300m S at Corby Crags rock shelter, and 1km ENE at Lamp Hill. A number of bronze age cists were apparently discovered 800m NW of this panel, in a field E of Lemmington Hall (SMR 4460). In the absence of trees, the panel would overlook this site. This area, one of the highest parts of the Fell Sandstone Group arc, is largely clothed by trees but deforested, the crag would enjoy wide views along the Fell Sandstone Group arc northwards and southwestwards particularly.

The rock was relocated by Ian and Irene Hewitt in 1991 who discovered the runes during preparation of the rock for wax rubbing and photography of the cup and ring marks. There is no parallel for their position next to cup and ring marks, and runes carved on natural outcrops are extremely rare in England, though more common in Scandinavia. A tentative transliteration of the runes has been reported by Beckensall. The motifs are carved on a flat part of the outcrop surface and consist of a cup with single ring joined by a groove to another cup which is surrounded by a complete ring and a second eroded ring or penannular. The symmetry of the motifs is affected by two straight parallel scratches in the rock surface above and below the NE'most cup and ring and are probably unlikely to be part of the original design. The runes are about 30cm S of the cup and ring motifs on a sloping face of the same outcrop.

When I went at once to the site it was late afternoon and the low rays of the setting sun picked out a large basin with a groove running from it and a groove surrounding it. This is near the top of the dome, which has been cut into to provide a boundary between Percy and Swinburne lands (marked P/S on the rock) and continues down the rock in a series of cut steps. The boundary continues in the opposite direction as a wire fence. The dome outcrop has been partially quarried, with signs of millstone extraction, and this has confused the identification of what may be cup marks. There are two standing stones on the slope below the overhang. Outside the fence boundary are disused bell pits for coal extraction, now filled in and grassed over. I excavated the floor of the rockshelter, where there was a mixture of artefacts from the Middle Stone Age flint knapping (c. 8,ooo years ago) to modern glass, clay pipes, teacup and a penknife. This place had sheltered many people; an armchair and ledges cut into solid rock with metal tools was a good place to sit in a rock overhang with part of the open end screened off. On the floor, leading to a triangular stone that covered a cremation burial in a food vessel of c. 2,000BC was a groove leading to it, picked out with a hard stone tool. Although it is not possible to be categorical about this, there is likely to be a link between the pick marks on the floor and the basin and groove above. It is safe to say that no matter what the time-span may be, the place was of great significance to the makers of the motifs and those who buried the cremated remains of one of their people under the rock floor with a flat stone on top. A stray find nearby of an equal barb and tang arrowhead links the pot chronologically with hunting in the area. I excavated the whole surface of the shelter and the standing stone 5m away on the slope; the latter proved to have been erected not in a pit, but by wedging its wide flat base with stones to prevent it from toppling over. A definite link between the time the stone was erected and the prehistoric use of the shelter cannot be made, but is likely. Below the rock shelter towards the road, on a sloping platform there is an enclosure, possibly Iron Age, with two concentric walls that end at the cliff edge above a small waterfall." 581,10016,A 'corby' is a crow. 581,10018,digital pix 581,2,Location and associated monuments are discussed under panel 1.

The rock exposed here is massive and of variable geology often with a mixture of pink and grey quartz grains. Softer parts have weathered into sculpted shapes and small arches, while some faces have formed large polygonal cracks. Water run off and differential weathering have caused pitting and cratering often to a marked degree on the W faces. The views and setting are spectacular and these cliffs may have provided both shelter and grazing areas for prehistoric people. This is an inspiring place which motivated one NADRAP team member to compose a folk tune 'Caller Crags' which has since been recorded. Any carving on these crags is likely to be badly eroded, although the lower E face would be the most protected from weathering yet motifs on the E facing part of the massive outcrop was described by both Beckensall and van Hoek but is now unclear: The ring around one cup (in group c of Ian Hewitt's illustration in the Beckensall Archive) could not be detected, and van Hoek's drawing also failed to show this. Other cups are randomly distributed apart from a group in the main region of the vertical face (d) in which six cups form a curved line with a 'handle' of three cups at each end. However, they appear to be formed in lines of weakness (the extension of a natural crack) which may add weight to speculation of their natural origin. Observations of small regions of radiating crystals within the matrix of the rock lead us to speculate on the presence of fossils or inclusions that may be more prone to dissolution or weathering. There is a single cup about 1m S of the main group and another after a further 1m. These may have been protected by turf cover. Group c lies 1.5m SW and has up to eight cups.

Here the River Breamish begins to bend northwards on its way, under the new name of River Till at Old Bewick, to flow towards the Milfield basin. A large boulder excavated by gravel extracting machinery lay near to the manager?s office in 1994. It had been apparently found at a depth of over 3m in gravel, in a hollow filled with ?black silt?, according to the operator. The manager saw the concentric circles on it and kept it safe. Its future was subject to discussion between him and the County Archaeologist; I was able to make a detailed recording of it. What was it doing there, and why so deep? The problem is to be weighed against the recent work of Peter Tipping (Tipping 1992 and pers. Comm.) in assessing the extent of prehistoric fills in the Cheviots. The great depth of gravel now being extracted at Powburn is the result of erosion in the Breamish valley in late prehistoric times, and the build up of these deposits in the valley had buried the boulder. If so, the boulder could be in its original position at the entrance to the valley, which has field systems, settlements and cairns that speak of intense activity there. What we cannot be sure about, though, because of the nature of the excavation, is the precise location and nature of the burial of the stone.

They were discovered in the nineteenth century and drawn, but closer investigation has led me to find many more on the same surface. They are atypical, as a glance at the drawings shows, for they are based mainly on spiral motifs. Some others may have tumbled from the rock face into the river, where parts of the cliff have collapsed. The site has a shut--in feel, despite the fact that the land opens up on the north part of the river. The sun seldom reaches the north--facing motifs, which are liberally distributed. Many are beyond easy reach, which suggests that either equipment was needed to reach them or the river was higher. To record some of them, I (Stan Beckensall) had to have a ladder lodged in the river bed when the water was at its lowest. Locally the site has been known as the ?Jack Rock,? with one design seen as a lion?s face. The motifs were first recorded in the History of the Berwick Naturalists? Club, Volume X (1882-4) by James Hardy after their discovery by Mr Middleton Dand of Hauxley. Apart from their obvious context at an important fording place across a river that must have been a major food source and vital means of communication, there is a hint that there may have been burials nearby. Mr Dand wrote: There are several mounds running from north to south on the north side of the river on Warkworth Moor?they are not unlike barrows?or?they may be merely owing to tracks worn at different ages to Pomfret?s Ford. However, we have to accept that these motifs lie in isolation from any definite prehistoric sites. The spiral motifs are quite different from cups and rings. The only other examples in Northumberland are at Lilburn and West Horton. If we are looking for sea--borne sources of influence (and I don?t see why we should), the obvious direction is not from Ireland, where spirals are frequent in decoration of passage graves. Further north, at Hawthornden in Scotland are similar spirals on cliffs, but that does not link them except stylistically. More obvious parallels would be in Galloway, to the west. So why are they here, who put them there and why? I don?t know. Spirals of any kind are rare in Britain. Their contexts, spread widely, include stone circles, pottery, carved stone balls, maceheads, reused slabs in early Bronze Age graves, and in passage graves in Ireland, Anglesey and Orkney. Some are on rock outcrops. They are not all alike: the horned spiral occurs, for example, only at Morwick and Lilburn, and in Scotland at Temple Wood, Achnabreck, Lamancha, Gilnockie Tower and Orkney. It occurs too on a Grooved Ware vessel from Radley. ?Triple spirals? occur only at Morwick, Achnabreck, and New Grange (Ireland), but they are joined in different ways. This is what makes Morwick so special, for it has single, S-shaped, horned and triple spirals as well as a unique design of three spirals linked to concentric circles and a spiral surrounded by a ring of cups. All this is to be set against the great rarity of spirals of any kind in Britain. Its position in the landscape makes it one of only 11 open-air sites in northern England and southern Scotland. Unlike the more usual cup and ring motifs this is on a vertical cliff rather than on near-horizontal rock. Its position is in a very important river valley, with many prehistoric sites along the course of the river, close to access from and egress to the sea. There is no man--made monument there, but its position is naturally striking as an important river crossing, so to travellers, hunters, settlers and fishermen it would act as a reference point, taking on perhaps a ritual significance of such importance that it inspired a unique art form. No one had to teach the people to do that; we do not have to look for sources of this art; it may even have been the source. I believe that many motifs can be produced by many different people in different parts of the world instinctively. (Young children are particularly good at discovering spirals for themselves, and I have seen people who are bored in committee meetings forming them on their note pads and agendas.) In Galloway the majority of spirals are not used in association with cup and ring motifs, but are on rocks by themselves, despite the latter being widely distributed. The places where spirals have the most significance in England and Scotland are on stone circles, such as Long Meg and Castlerigg (Cumbria), in the passage graves of the Boyne valley (Eire), Anglesey and Orkney. At Newgrange Eire) they are at particularly important places in the grave; as many are inside, only a few people at a time could view them; others are placed on the decorated kerbstones. Such placement gives us a rare dating possibility, but for that site only: later Neolithic. It is just possible that the re-excavation of the pit at Lilburn could provide more information by using modern methods of excavation. It has been said that the horned spiral at Achnabreck is earlier than the cup and ring motifs on the same rock; as it is in exactly the same condition as the best of them, I can see no reason for saying so. Despite many attempts to explain them, much speculation remains in a world of fantasy-- at least, it doesn?t convince me! What we cannot deny is that they were very important to the people who made and used them; the motifs had a meaning that may continue to elude us. The danger is that we read ourselves into them - a natural response that brings many answers." 604,10016,Morwick means 'fen farm'. 604,2,"17.5m E of the W edge of Morwick Cliff (Jack's Rock), due N of a large tree on the bank of the river Coquet, about 5m above water level at the level of the path below the crags. Morwick panel 1b is adjacent to the W. There is said to be an ancient ford across the river at NU 2360 0499 (Pauper's Ford; SMR 5557). It is likely that the river has altered its course over time and may now be much closer to the cliff than in past times. The Morwick panels are found along the south-bank cliff of the River Coquet. A number of individual panels are located along its length at various heights. The whole cliff edge is best seen in its entirety from the north bank of the river. The cliff follows an inwardly curving line with angled, sheer and overhanging faces. Its base reaches the river in places, but in parts is obscured by earthen banks. There is little naturally outcropping rock evident in this area along the steep, largely wooded, banks of the river. The surrounding ground is largely improved and maintained undulating grassland, with overgrown riverbanks east and west, and a small copse in the adjacent dene and trees at the cliff top. Views can be obtained from the top of the cliff, across the river to the low-lying ground opposite. No sites contemporary with the rock art has been recorded from the area around the river cliff, though it is noted that this area has been subject to intensive agriculture for some length of time. Earlier records note an earthen mound crossing the river bend, over the adjacent Warkworth Moor; this could have been a prehistoric (specific period unknown ) monument though this is impossible to verify. A ring ditch cropmark has also been noted near to Walk Mill. This could also be a prehistoric funerary monument of the Bronze Age or a later prehistoric round house." 604,3,Sandstone - red 604,7,Sandstone - red 604,1,The carvings are very faint and difficult to make out in poor light.

The groove around the concentric circles, met by this groove from the spiral, ends at the rock edge. Below that is a groove running concentric to it. Further below is a square enclosure with rounded corners, with two faint cups inside. Above this complex heart--shaped arrangement is a clockwise spiral of three turns that runs into the outer groove. Branching out from the same major groove is a clockwise spiral, linked to it by a long groove. Above are faint arcs that echo the shapes of the outer turns of the spirals, one then moving off to the left to join the next complex motifs. At the bottom of the left-hand side group is a horned spiral, very worn or unfinished in its centre. There is a deep oval groove enclosing the whole figure; from the bottom a U--shaped rise, echoed by another above it, provides the bridge in between the two horns, one clockwise and the other anti--clockwise. A clockwise spiral joins the outer groove of the horned spiral from the right, surrounded by a ring. This ring has a groove branching into the outer curve of one of three spirals that are all linked. The bottom two spirals are arranged as a horned spiral, one clockwise, the other anti--clockwise. The third, anti--clockwise, spiral is linked to the curved groove that joins them.

All this is to be set against the great rarity of spirals of any kind in Britain. Its position in the landscape makes it one of only 11 open-air sites in northern England and southern Scotland. Unlike the more usual cup and ring motifs this is on a vertical cliff rather than on near-horizontal rock. Its position is in a very important river valley, with many prehistoric sites along the course of the river, close to access from and egress to the sea. There is no man--made monument there, but its position is naturally striking as an important river crossing, so to travellers, hunters, settlers and fishermen it would act as a reference point, taking on perhaps a ritual significance of such importance that it inspired a unique art form.

It has been said that the horned spiral at Achnabreck is earlier than the cup and ring motifs on the same rock; as it is in exactly the same condition as the best of them, I can see no reason for saying so.

The cup has a groove around it, curved at the top, and angular at its sides. The second groove outside this, and roughly concentric to it, is angular, beginning at the place where the duct bends, and proceeding as angled straight lines. The other side of this second surrounding groove is outlined as three large pick marks, where it approaches the duct, then makes an angular turn. On this side is a third groove that dips to meet the duct, and then proceeds roughly concentric to the second. On the opposite side, a line of seven pick marks in an arc indicates that some sort of outer groove was intended, but never completed. Below this figure is a cup and serpentine duct, making a centre for a near-pear-shaped groove. An outer groove is incomplete at the RHS, and a faint groove from the LHS reaches the duct. A third motif is a cup and duct with a faint surrounding groove. There are some stray pick marks on the rock. The cups of these three motifs are of the same size and depth, two of the ducts are not straight, and the grooves around the cups are not only tentative, but angular.

The area rises from undulating eastern slopes above West Horton to a plateau height of Dod Law, above steep scarp edges which in places, on the south and west, comprises blocky crags. The main moor area is broadly divided into two by a stream running south to north. This is a typical Fell Sandstone Group terrace with western crags and eastern dip-slope, draining in all directions, through established courses at the fringes, giving the appearance of an island of substantially higher ground. Gled Law issues from the flanks of Doddington Moor. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions, to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, over the Till, Hetton Burn, Doddington Dene and other valleys. These views include many other rock art areas. There is an extensive series of rock art panels across the area (in some cases called Dod Law), with a number of contemporary monuments. Since the creation of the rock art, modifications to the landscape have taken place across the whole area, so the panels are a mixture of in situ and moved panels. No Mesolithic presence has been recorded on this moor. Monuments contemporary with the rock art carvings have been recorded from various locations: a stone circle, roughly central to the area and a pair of stones, possibly a stone setting, have been recorded, The dating for both monuments is unconfirmed, their relationships with each other and with the rock art are unknown. Several Bronze Age barrows and cairns were recorded in the 19th century, some definitively funerary monuments, others possibly clearance cairns. Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British settlements, enclosures and hillforts have been recorded across the area. It is unknown whether or not the rock art panels would have been visible in these periods but some panels are only metres away from these sites. Recent field clearance is partially responsible for the movement and relocation of some rock art panels; many small clearance cairns have been noted, and where ploughed, finds of stone artefacts are recorded.

We arranged for a team to excavate the mound (1975), hoping that a context might be available for the rock art. The mound turned out to be little more than a heap of field clearance stones riddled with rabbit holes, and underneath it was a warren. An examination of the area adjoining the heap indicated that there might be a low-walled stone enclosure. A search of the moor and the excavation of two other mounds revealed that one was also field clearance, but that the other, with its tell-tale depression on the top, was a disturbed burial cairn that stood on the ridge overlooking Ellingham and Tynely to the North Sea. The burial cairn had been dug from the top through its centre to the cist below: this was an oval-shape of small vertically placed stones the centre of which had been dug, leaving a depression suspiciously in the shape of a pot at one end.

At the time it was reported: Only the side and end stones of the cist remain, and on the centre of the inner face of the southern side stone is a fine cup mark 1? ? diameter and ??deep (0.013, 0.019m). This cup-marked is Ouston, Pike Hill b. Three feet away from this disturbed cist lay what was probably the cist cover, described as an irregular heart--shaped rock 24? x 21? x 5? (0.61 x 0.53 x 0.13m). The design was: an irregular trapezoid with a cup at each angle, and two cup marks are outside the figure but have no apparent relationship to it. The markings are well and deeply cut and in some places show the rough pick marks of the first operation of incision but are generally smoothed by grinding. This cup-marked rock is Ouston, Pike Hill a. The description shows that the design on the cist cover was probably facing into the cist. What is on the stone does not quite tally with the description, for the pick marks show no signs of being smoothed. The motifs on this stone are clearly made to fit the shape and size of the stone. They are pristine, and therefore the rock has not been exposed to any erosion (i.e. it was buried). The location suggests that it was specifically made for the cist of an early Bronze Age burial. Because it does not have concentric circles this does not make the design ?simple?. There are four deeply pecked cups that form a square. They are linked by wide, pecked, straight grooves on three sides and the fourth b y a slightly curved groove. The interior of this motif appears as a square with rounded corners. In a Dod law context this would be an unusual design; a deep cup lies between a corner cup and the edge, with very faint pecking that may have been intended to link the two. There are pick marks between the central motif and the edge, including two faint cups. On the other side there is a long groove and a large cup, with more scattered faint pick marks. The quality of the pecking is outstanding." 683,1,This carving was not recorded by NADRAP 684,10001,"Use the same entry for 'The Pitland Hills cairn, Birtley a-q'" 684,10006,A single cup. 684,10019,Find spot: NY 887 793 684,10021,"This panel might not be on display, in which case prior arrangements will have to be made with the museum to view it." 684,1,"The Pitland Hills cairn stones are thought to be in the Museum of Antiquities.

Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic. The most important feature of this site is the distribution of marked cobbles. Not only did they form part of the mound, but four kerbstones were cup marked and have been left buried in situ. The rest have been removed to the Museum of Antiquities except for Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn n, which is at Berwick Museum, and Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn r , which could not be relocated during the project. The decoration on the removed cobbles varies from simple cups to a complex cup-penannular-radiate design. This complex design was on a cobble found south of the projected south edge of the outer kerb ? unless the mound was longer along its north-south axis, which we don?t know because there was only a light scatter of stone there and more possibility that the outcrop had been cleared of any covering stone. For anyone trying to peck a cup into a cobble, the danger is that the rock will split with the force of the blow. It takes skill." 705,10016,The name Fowberry means the fortification of the foal. 705,10019,Could not be relocated during the project. 705,1,This carving was not recorded by NADRAP. 706,10011,"Overlooking the coast north of Alnmouth village is a flat-topped hill with a triangulation pillar, north of which runs a boundary wall in part obscured by high bracken, gorse and hawthorn. It is capped by a fence; where the middle section of the wall has been broken down it is replaced entirely by a fence. The base of the wall appears much older than that built of regularly-shaped, quarried ashlar blocks of maroon coloured sandstone. Approximately thirty of the wall blocks, some in situ, others fallen, are cup marked. Some of the cups appear in a rosette form. There is light packing on one fallen stone. I have recorded only thirty of the stones, as the wall would have to be cleared to reach the others satisfactorily. The origin of the stone blocks is a most certainly outcrop. As most of the boundary walls are built largely of this stone, the surface of the outcrop must have been extensive, and as some of the blocks have cupmarks on two faces, part of the original outcrop had an edge. It is not unusual to find cups and cup and ring marked stones in walls; what is different here is that they rarely represent such an extensive expanse of rock, and are so varied in depth and size. Neither is it unusual to find outcrops on which the predominant or exclusive motifs are cups.

Canon Greenwell discovered that there had been a cairn on the site that had been demolished to help build a field wall. The cists were close to the surface, but had been formed in pits dug below the natural level of the field. The cist that had the motif had a food vessel in its south west corner. He did not include a picture of this food vessel, but drew one from the burial area that was almost identical. There is now nothing to be seen at the site.

Rock art panels in the area are a mixture of in situ and re-located examples. Iron Age and Romano-British activities may account for the positioning, or more accurately the clearance of panels. Two such panels are noted in the traces of an enclosure wall. The Iron Age hillfort, The Ringses, dominates the surrounding area, and this may have been responsible for the creation of the field boundaries akin to those at Lordenshaw. More recent field clearance is also partially responsible for the movement of some panels; many small clearance cairns are recorded near the Romano-British settlement and field system, and these also incorporate rock art. Widespread Medieval and Post Medieval quarrying, including that for millstones, may have also destroyed rock art panels. Whilst the original locationsof some examples cannot be fully determined, there is sufficient situ rock art present to observe a trend similar to other rock art locations: on valley lips or hillside locations with wide views over surrounding low-lying ground. Here the low-lying ground is mainly marshy and wetlands.

In detail the motifs include: a cup with four rings, only one of which is complete, the three others stop at a linear groove which runs from the outer ring through the cup and towards the stone?s centre, a further groove leads from the outer ring, curves round the stones edge creating a U-shape, almost enclosing the other motifs. A number of small peck mark size depressions between the three outer rings could be the start of another groove, but could equally just be natural. Towards the stones middle, is a cup surrounded by two penannulars and a complete ring, with the outer complete ring resting on the linear groove emanating from the previous motif. The inner penannulars may have been complete rings originally, but an area of what looks to be random pecking obscures detail. A linear groove also leads out of the central cup here, out towards the stones edge cutting through the outer U-shaped groove. A smaller motif consisting of a cup with a groove surrounded by two penannulars can be seen opposite. The presence of peck marks within most of the motifs may suggest the stone was covered not long after the motifs were carved." 711,10006,"The design makes it one of the finest compositions, as there is clearly a careful use of the shape of the rock surface that partly decided the design. At the top centre is a cup with four concentric rinds. The cup has a diametric groove that preceded the rings, most of which stop at it; the groove continues down the rock to link up to the left and right with similar motifs; that on the right has a cup with a penannular and two concentric rings, the outer of which joins the outer ring of the central figure. From the cup a groove reaches the end of the slab, cutting through the groove that starts with the outer ring of the central motif, encloses the left hand motif and runs to the right to link up with the third figure. This is a cup and two penannulars, where a groove runs from the cup to meet this curving groove, which in turn curves round to meet the outer penannular. There is an interesting simple mathematical relationship between the motifs: four, three and two concentric rings around cups. All the figures are deliberately linked, not only from the grooves from their cups but also from the embracing outer grooves." 711,10011,"Found in the area of The Ringses (on Beanley Moor) in 1864, covered with vegetation.

Rock art panels in the area are a mixture of in situ and re-located examples. Iron Age and Romano-British activities may account for the positioning, or more accurately the clearance of panels. Two such panels are noted in the traces of an enclosure wall. The Iron Age hillfort, The Ringses, dominates the surrounding area, and this may have been responsible for the creation of the field boundaries akin to those at Lordenshaw. More recent field clearance is also partially responsible for the movement of some panels; many small clearance cairns are recorded near the Romano-British settlement and field system, and these also incorporate rock art. Widespread Medieval and Post Medieval quarrying, including that for millstones, may have also destroyed rock art panels. Whilst the original locationsof some examples cannot be fully determined, there is sufficient situ rock art present to observe a trend similar to other rock art locations: on valley lips or hillside locations with wide views over surrounding low-lying ground. Here the low-lying ground is mainly marshy and wetlands. Distant views are obtained to other rock art areas on surrounding higher ground, and no locations appear to be deep within the Beanley-Hunterheugh island of higher ground.

The stone is extremely friable and sand grains can be seen in the bottom of most cups, whether this accounts for the depths of some is open to question. Peck marks may also be present, but these small indentations may be the result of pitting due to the stones friability.

The ridge is an important landscape feature, high above the floodplain, and under some large beech trees close to the church a lady out walking her dog noticed that among field clearance under them was a marked slab. The slab from there is now in the church, thanks to the action of the PCC. I (Stan Beckensall) had recorded it in situ, and noted that there were chain marks around it where it had been dragged from the field to join a pile of stone, some cobbles. It was not in its original place; despite the battering it had received from machinery, the motifs were clear. The slab is now displayed in the church between the font and a Roman altar.

It is largely flat, ending with steep western and southern slopes down to the Till. It is based on a low Fell Sandstone Group terrace, which occasionally outcrops in the western slopes.

Ridge and furrow also survives in places with Post Medieval field banks." 724,7, 724,1,"The Beckensall Archive records this stone as being with the owners of Weetwood Hill Farm. Unfortunately, it could not be located during a NADRAP survey and the present landowner could not recall the stone being passed to them." 724,10006,It has very fine motifs: a cup and duct with two penannulars.

It is divided from the Buttony sites to the east by a small stream and valley. Although motifs on it have disappeared, George Tate (1865) has left an account and drawings of them. He says, ""On the scalp of the rock where it dips into the hill, four figures are traceable; but from being very much defaced, it is difficult to make out these forms, even when viewed under a favourable light"". The figures that he draws are a cup and ring, a cup, ring, a second interrupted ring from which curved grooves extend, a cup and three concentric rings, and a cup and two concentric rings. On the perpendicular western face he found and drew some other designs which are not of the same type; he thought them more likely to be medieval. The importance of this place therefore continued, and from it the Milfield Plain and Cheviots are viewed. The landscape has changed since then, in that some monuments have been cleared away. The most recent disturbance is the laying of a gas pipeline. The ritual significance of the area is suggested by reports of burials. At NU 00570 30620 (Mill Lands), W Procter reported that "" In 1867 a cist was uncovered by the plough in a field near this (Gled Law) quite close to 'Cuddy's Cove'. Greenwell wrote, ""The cist was found on June 21, 1867, in a sandy knoll rising from the River Till and in close proximity to one of the rocks engraved with the circular markings"". This has gone. Davison and Davison (1935-6) said that ""evidence still exists to show that Gled Law was used for burial purposes. It would be interesting to excavate at least two of the large mounds on the hill, either of which may be a barrow."" It is likely that more archaeology has been destroyed or covered over. For example, Mr Davison also recorded ""One cup with a faintly discernible ring"" where it is now pasture. Mr. Tate reported that by 1868 ""seven groups of inscriptions have recently been discovered. In this assemblage of sculptures, there are traceable thirty-six figures, mostly typical forms; yet in some cases, so varied and combined, as to present new figures."" Plate V shows them, drawn from rubbings made by Mr. William Procter, Jnr. Mr. Bruce also drew some of them. The figures on Gled Law Site 2a in my illustration, with its three radial grooves, was discovered by Mrs. Procter. Mr. Tate says, "" The whole of these sculptures were rudely formed, the incisions are shallow, and the tool marks distinct; the circles are irregular and had evidently been drawn without instrumental aid."" He also noted that, ""About fifty yards from these sculptures, Mr. Procter has recently discovered the fragments of a sepulchral urn of the ordinary ancient British type."" His observations on how the motifs were made suggests that the rocks had been covered over for some time, leaving the motifs more or less in their pristine state. What Mr. Tate considered ""rudely formed"" means that no attempt had been made to deepen or smooth the cups and grooves; they were left with the pick marks clear." 724,10016,A law is a hill. 724,10019,"South of Gled Law 6 and 7, this fragment of rock was found by Irene Hewitt, beside a wall, into which it had been incorporated as building material.

Van Hoek, and we found a marked boulder nearby. The site was an old walled coppice, west of the road from Clavering. On outcrop is a cup and serpentine duct, with an incomplete inner circle and an outer angular groove, roughly concentric to it. A plough-scarred boulder close by, discovered by us, has a large cup, an arc, and some other possible cups and grooves. The rest of the marked rocks lie on a raised, slightly-sloping plateau of rock flanked by pasture, a public footpath, and a cairn, to the S and SW. The outcrops, many ridged and twisted during deposition, are very close to the surface, and on the edges they have been quarried. The hill has extensive views over many kilometres that do not extend to the north edge of the Weetwood-Clavering scarp, but take in all the scarp edge sites from Gled Law, Buttony, Chatton Park Hill, Old Bewick, and onward to Alnwick. Most of the major rock art sites are intervisible. Mr. G. Tate (1865) refers to these sites as Whitsunbank, but this is not the correct name. He refers to it as "" a lofty hill commanding an extensive view over the district"" where there were "" eight different inscribed stones, all of which were discovered by my friend Mr. William Wightman and myself... Thirty -two figures are traceable on these rocks.? He describes and illustrates them. He also lists "" A loose stone (now in my possession) with a figure of four incomplete concentric circles, the cup and radial line, and with two other round hollows connected with the two outer circles....found among a heap of stones on the Coldmartin grounds ( Plate XI., fig. 3 ). Probably it had formed part of a cist-vaen."" This is not a very high tally, compared with what we have discovered and recorded since, and there may have more a deeper vegetation cover in the 1860's." 725,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 725,2,"This area is a low Fell Sandstone Group block that rises from east to west. Rock art panels are found along a slightly elevated ridge, rising generally with the trend, but with slight slopes to the north and south. Much bedrock is exposed on the ridge top, with low natural and, where quarried, higher crags along the flanks. The area is mainly rough grazing and moorland, bounded by stonewalls and fences, separated from improved and cleared grasslands for stock and gamebird plantations. Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views. The Cheviot and Fell Sandstone Hills distantly ring the site to the west, north and east with other rock art areas visible, such as Doddington Moor/Dod Law, Gled Law, Buttony and Horton areas, as well as the main Fell Sandstone Group arc. The more elevated portions of this area overlook the Milfield Basin and River Till lowland areas. Other prehistoric monuments in the area includes two funerary cairns. One of these, Weetwood Cairn, on the southern flanks of the ridge incorporates further panels, though it is not clear whether this was constructed contemporary with the creation of the rock art. The other cairn is in the west moorland area. A pair of stones, previously thought standing stones, have been discounted in previous reconnaissance of the area. There are no later prehistoric monuments in the immediate area, though a series of settlements is known nearby. Post Medieval activity has, however, taken place. Much evidence of quarrying is present with many ?steps?, and sheer and sharp edges of remaining rock at the east of the ridge. A stonewalled enclosure has been recorded in the western part of the area, continuing into the adjacent plantation.

The gentle slopes are mainly improved grassland and evergreen plantations used for the rearing of stock and gamebirds respectively. Scattered outcrops are present throughout these slopes, often with dumped stones from the surrounding fields and gorse bushes in elevated areas. Little now remains of monuments contemporary with the creation of the rock art panels here, though these have been recorded, as have some finds, in the course of agricultural activities. The slopes give good views from the elevated high ground across the Till Valley and its tributary the Hetton Burn. The rock art panels are found down the valley sides, so a variety of levels of view are obtained, but a spur of land prevents views to other areas in the lower areas. The Till Valley changes course below these panels, from south to the west, as it skirts around the Gled Law/Doddington Moor area. There are no associated monuments contemporary with the rock carvings in this area. The nearest such monument is a stone circle at Doddington Moor. There has been widespread agricultural improvement and plantations of the surrounding ground. This has resulted in the destruction of a later prehistoric unenclosed settlement, possibly Bronze Age, and led to the discovery of several prehistoric flint artefacts. Several loose stone scatters are noted in the nearby field edges as modern clearance cairns. The good views from elevated parts of the area are indicated by the presence of a number of World War 2 pillboxes." 759,3,Sandstone 759,7,Sandstone 759,1,"A portable rock found near West Horton Farm. Now on display at the Cheviot Centre, Wooler. Deep cup with three rings, partly eroded. Two radial groove come from centre to near edge of rock." 760,10006,A single cup. 760,10011,"By chance, I (Stan Beckensall) was living nearby when the land around the Weetwood sites was bulldozed and cleared of heather and stone, ready for grass planting. I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 760,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 760,10019,"This carved rock might either be on site, at the Berwick Museum, or at the Science Museum, London." 760,2,"For the history of Weetwood Cairn excavation see Beckensall Archive notes. This area is a low Fell Sandstone Group block that rises from east to west. Rock art panels are found along a slightly elevated ridge, rising generally with the trend, but with slight slopes to the north and south. Much bedrock is exposed on the ridge top, with low natural and, where quarried, higher crags along the flanks. The area is mainly rough grazing and moorland, bounded by stonewalls and fences, separated from improved and cleared grasslands for stock and gamebird plantations. Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views. The Cheviot and Fell Sandstone Hills distantly ring the site to the west, north and east with other rock art areas visible, such as Doddington Moor/Dod Law, Gled Law, Buttony and Horton areas, as well as the main Fell Sandstone Group arc. The more elevated portions of this area overlook the Milfield Basin and River Till lowland areas. There are no later prehistoric monuments in the immediate area, though a series of settlements is known nearby. Post Medieval activity has, however, taken place. Much evidence of quarrying is present with many ?steps?, and sheer and sharp edges of remaining rock at the east of the ridge.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 761,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 761,10019,"This carved rock might either be on site, at the Berwick Museum, or at the Science Museum, London." 761,2,"For the history of Weetwood Cairn excavation see Beckensall Archive notes.

He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 765,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 765,10019,"This carved rock might either be on site, at the Berwick Museum, or at the Science Museum, London." 765,2,"For the history of Weetwood Cairn excavation see Beckensall Archive notes.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath.

Several other stones used within the construction of the abutment have circular holes, but nothing else is distinctly cup shaped. Archive records for Chesters B may be confused, and there is no certainty that this record is definitely 'B'.

This includes some rock art areas, such as the north of Weetwood Moor and the main Chatton Park-Old Bewick ridge. The crags and rising ground of Doddington Moor/Dod Law prevent an all-round view of distant areas. The gentle slopes have allowed Post Medieval ploughing of the ground to be undertaken with disturbance and destruction of archaeological monuments. A few monuments contemporary with the rock art panels of the Neolithic/Early Bronze Age have been recorded. These include Cuddie?s Cave rock shelter on the western flanks of Gled Law from which rock art has been recorded, as well as barrows and cairns with grave goods and others which are possibly related to agricultural clearance. These were discovered in the 19th century, as ploughing started on the flatter portions of the area. The steep slopes have escaped the ploughing and a number of monuments have been recorded.

The latter may have been a complete ring (or two) but has since eroded away. The most northerly connecting cup and ring is irregular and may have a curvilinear groove running out from the ring, two further cups with single rings and six single cup marks can be also seen. It?s setting within rubble walling and in amongst other large unmarked boulders (moved relatively recently) would suggest the stone isn?t in its original position.

The main feature is a very large, deep bowl with a 0.24m diameter and 0.17m depth, the inside of which is stained pink. The steep, near vertical sides, diameter and depth of the bowl could be suggestive of a naturally formed hole but, enhanced natural or being entirely artificial cannot be discounted. The other motifs carved consist of three cups with single rings, a cup with two rings, a further single cup, and a groove running east-west across the northern end. Several other small depressions can be seen, but these are likely to be the result of erosion. During a check of data in summer 2006, a further cup and cup with ring were noted under turf on the north end. The ring around the most north-westerly single cup with a ring is irregular, and has been carved in relief. A further ring may also exist on the raised area. The location of this stone is unusual for rock art in the Barningham Moor/South Tees area, as the overwhelming majority of carvings tend to be found on terraces off higher ground. Where carvings are found on peaks they?re usually associated with burial mounds such as How Tallon, Osmaril Gill and Frankinshaw. With this particular panel there?s no obvious association with a cairn, although a small one can be seen approx 75m to the east.

The stones upper surface has three levels, with the carving being on the highest south side, along with multiple linear striations running east - west. The position of the linear features (only on the highest part) are reminiscent of glacial markings, but their presence inside the motifs and stones underside would suggest bedding layers. Whether the carving has been deliberately positioned because of the visible bedding layers is difficult to determine. However, it is interesting to note that whilst multiple ringed motifs are rare on Barningham Moor, where they do exist natural features such as fissures, edges and natural grooves are close to the outer rings. This also seems to be the case for this particular carving.

During the recording process, two other possible single cup marked stones were noted and another stone with a single cup also reappeared. Other stones are undoubtedly in the wall or cairn, but removal from the site shouldn?t be discounted. As far as this carving is concerned, the cups are well formed and there is little doubt that those on side ?A? are artificial, with at least two cups displaying peck marks.

Overall, the area around this stone has seen many phases of human activity with the rock art being one of the earliest visible signs." 904,1,"A large flat stone measuring 2 x 1.3 m, now mostly under turf. This is an extremely difficult carving to describe, mainly because of the complexity of grooves and cups that have been incorporated into the design. In simple terms, the motifs consist of approx eighty three cups of varying size, distributed across the stone, with the northern end being the busier half. Of the eighty three, thirteen have rings, ten of which appear to have been carved in relief. For these particular features the un-carved ring attracts the eye. By far the most noticeable design element, is the network of intricately carved grooves that incorporate approx forty six cups and nine rings. In some places, cups act as nodes with grooves branching out in different directions to join other cups, and elsewhere, grooves enclose other motifs. Only twenty one out of eighty three cups haven?t been included in the grooves or adorned with rings. Towards the south end, a natural depression has been enhanced (peck marks visible) and a groove leads into it from the main design. Several other areas also have peck marks visible. The difference in complexity between this carving and every other known example on Barningham Moor is stark, as the majority are relatively simple in design with less than 15% displaying even a single ring. There are certain similarities between this stone and carvings found in the Feldom Range area a few miles east, where several examples of cup covered stones with complex interlinking grooves can be found. Another point worthy of note, is its position close to one of two penannular carvings on Barningham, as both stones are ?complex? and show signs of possible later motifs being added." 904,9,heather 904,3,Sandstone 904,4,Extremely complex design of curvilinear grooves incorporating cups and rings. 904,5,"Peck marks visible in various parts of the stone, more towards the west end." 905,2,"This stone is situated on a raised area, with wo short earthen banks 5 m to the north.

Due to turf coverage it had not been noted during previous fieldwork, however, a fieldtrip in March 08 found the turf had been recently disturbed and this prompted further investigation. Although not complex, the use and enhancement of natural solution holes and artificial cups in the design makes this stone interesting. It also adds to a collection of other carvings on Barningham that display similar ?enhanced natural? characteristics. At the northwest corner are two irregular shaped conjoined cups, which could be either enhanced solution holes or totally artificial (due to tooling marks). To the south, is a cluster of solution holes and a regular shaped cup. Two of the solution holes have tooling marks present, particularly the largest which is irregular in both shape and depth. Joined onto the south side of this, is a short curving groove terminating at a cup. On the west side of the large irregular solution hole is an area of tooling marks, which may be the start of a cup. Further south, in a central position, is another regular cup with tooling marks, a small fissure runs out of it west, leading to a solution hole. South of this, and again central, is another cup with tooling marks. Towards the south east edge, on a higher bedding plane, is a cup and two small depressions, possibly solution holes.

The cairnfield is mostly (?totally) of the agricultural clearance cairn type, with artificially truncated western and southern edges by (?Post Medieval) fields bounded by sod cast dykes, now totally heather-covered. South of Lamb?s Knowe, near Chatton Sandyfords Farm, a burial cist monument was discovered in ploughing, though noted only as the cist grave and capstone alone here. The area is gently undulating ground, generally lower than the adjacent Chatton Sandyford and Willie Law ridge areas. It is flanked to either side by the incised streams of the Brownridge Burn from a source in the southwest, running round on the west and north, and the larger Sandyford Burn to the east. Despite the surrounding higher ground that prevents distant views, wide local views can be obtained particularly from the valley side of the Brownridge Burn. To the north of the area there appears an excavated pit. There does not appear to be any prehistoric monument on top, either now or previously, since no stone has been recorded there.

Rising ground to the Southwest is noted and may have blocked any original views. These summary notes are based on the work of George Jobey in the 1970s (1981). Prior to the afforestation the area of Millstone Hill was covered by a cairnfield consisting of at least 85 small rounded cairns, roughly centred at NU 088 261. A triplet of conjoined kerbed cairns was excavated revealing cremations, some pottery and charcoal. The excavator (George Jobey) collected samples for radiocarbon dating - but this was not carried out, and wrote that the monument was of a common North British type, though dates and affinities of this type were somewhat varied. Two further cairns - thought of as clearance cairns - were also excavated, one covering a charcoal layer radiocarbon date calibrated to 2202-1975 BC. Jobey noted the construction of the cairns need not have immediately followed the burning clearance suggested by the charcoal, but noted other possible earlier burning clearance in the area. Prior to the planting of the trees further rock art panels (recorded in this project as Millstone Hill New 1 and Millstone Hill portable, Rock Art Ids 1031 and 1369 respectively) were found in a furrow not far from Jobey's excavations (see the references for that panel).

It is in a similar position to confirmed rock art nearby, in an area generally free of other stones. It may have been recognised for its natural marks. Willie Law is situated on the main Fell Sandstone Group undulating ridge, as heather-covered moor. There appears little outcropping rock present in the area. The ground falls away generally from west to east, but also north to south, and views can be obtained to lower grounds.

None of the rock art panels are part of, or tumble from, the many cairns that are present. The rock art panels appear to be at the fringes of the cairnfield. The cairnfield was first recorded by George Jobey, as a mixture of presumed burial and clearance cairns. Survey carried out shows several cairns well-made, with defined edges (if not actually kerbed), and largely similar sizes. No internal structures, eg. cists, have been noted, which would allow more definitive attributions of functions or date to be made. It is unknown how much, if any, difference in date there is between the rock art and cairnfield. There are no linear clearance cairns here, which might indicate the cairnfield?s development, as noted and suggested elsewhere. No nearby settlements contemporary with the rock art have been noted, with the nearest unenclosed roundhouse presumed Bronze Age at Ox-Eye. Nearby excavations carried out record funerary monuments of the Early Bronze Age, as well as agricultural clearance through burning.

This was almost certainly a natural feature, but the edges have been worked on and the basin shaped to make it a feature. There are similar signs that other depressions have been pecked or scoured, and as we follow these indentations down the slope, the edges of the naturally eroded part give way to cups and cups and rings. The slope had already produced erosion channels from water running down lines of weakness and hollows. These were exploited further.

This leads right down to the rock to an offshoot groove that runs to the inner circle of four concentric rings around a cup, with an arc outside. The main groove curves slightly to run concentrically to these rings before it reaches the rock edge. This long groove divides the rock in two. To the right are cups and rings with grooves running from central cups and surrounding rings, all linked together. Some cups do not have grooves running from them. Although the left hand side design is based on a similar arrangement of cups surrounded by rings and by long grooves running from cups at the centre of rings, there is a unique variation in design that has produced what looks like a figure -of- eight. A cup from which a long groove leads down the rock is at the centre of five rings, three of which are made to flow in to a similar motif to the left. This has a cup and groove at the centre of five penannulars. A large serpentine groove arcs over the top rings of both motifs to unite them into one, and an extra radial groove from the centre of the right hand figure curves into the outer arc of the second. Two faint additional radial grooves run to the outer ring of the left-hand motif. The right hand design completes its movement down the rock when the groove from the central cup reaches a cup at the centre of three broken rings; the groove continues down the rock from that cup. The left hand figure has a crowd of motifs below it; one cup and ring connected to the main groove from the central cup, an arc at the centre of a large cup touches the outer ring, and is itself touched by the outer penannular of a cup and ring motif. This in turn is touched by a cup and ring linked by a groove above it to a cup and arc. Above the main motifs are some apparently incomplete motifs. There is another feature that distinguishes this block as one of the most interesting ever found; horizontal lines of cups at the tallest end of the rock on its vertical face. This line turns the corner to extend the line east." 1087,10008,"11m NE of the fence. This mini-car-sized block is earthfast, brought here by ice. To one side is some field clearance, but there are also two smaller but similarly deposited earthfast blocks, one with a single cup.

It was chosen because it was there and it was big. Its viewpoints are limited only by the rise to the hillfort; it overlooks Hepburn ridge, Blawearie cairns and the Corby Crags hillfort. The pasture reaches a stone wall that divide it from the moorland. Behind it, over the wire fence is another large block of marked stone. The east edge of the big hillfort has a low wall of disturbed material, among which is other rock art." 1087,10015,The rock has been quarried.

No dimensions of the cist, or indeed of the panel, have been recorded. It is unclear where the capstone attribution of the panel, made in the Northumberland County History, volume 14, originated. No grave goods were recorded by Dixon, though the Northumberland County History records a food vessel loosely attributed from a barrow in the relevant Whittingham parish. The motifs were later recorded as ""a fine example"" (Dixon 1895: 8) in the 1890s. It is unknown if the panel had been removed from an outcrop source or had been specifically carved for the cist. Later searches for the panel were made in the 1930s for the Northumberland County History, volume 14 and later by the Ordnance Survey.

This small panel is impressive and very individual due to large cup size, pecking and the irregular grooved ring which encloses a cup and also incorporates a further small cup. The motifs include one very large 0.14 m diameter and 0.10 m cup, well-formed and situated centrally on the panel. Sides give impression of pecking down the full depth of the cup. A small indentation/notch in the cup lip may have a different timescale. A definite angular ring into which another much smaller cup sits encircles the main cup at approx. 0.12-0.15 m diameter. A single well defined cup sits independently. Width of groove varies 0.01-0.02 m. The exterior stone may have been altered by quarrying or later shaping which almost interrupts the completion of a ring. Alternative use as a quern, trough, font etc were also considered. Another alternative interpretation regarding the central 'cup' and the stone is that it is a knocking stone, though this cannot explain the off-centre motifs and portions of motifs. Such stones were used in all archaeological periods, until comparatively recently, where cereals - usually barley and/or oats, were dehusked or generally pounded, before use with milk for meals or further milling procedures, with a hollow and wooden or stone pestle." 1149,10004,"The most likely place where the stone came from is a monument of some sort, possibly part of a burial cairn.

It is unclear from the various reports if the motifs were carved on the floor or walls of the cave. It is possible that this may have only been a shallow rock shelter or overhang. The rock art motifs were first recorded with hindsight in 1859. Neither the panel nor the cave itself has been illustrated, so it is unknown what the site looked like (though a number of parallels might be suggested). The quarrying which ultimately destroyed the carvings was recorded in 1859, as having destroyed some of the motifs already. A search of a small cave was made in the 1950s above the Cove Quarry. This recorded no rock art motifs here, though it is unsure if this can have been the same cave/overhang/rock shelter as recorded in the 19th century. The original record of the site by Tate refers to ??concentric circles with central hollows?? which would imply that they were cup and ring motifs.

A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused.

Its north west and south east flanks drop respectively to Whitton Dean, a tributary of the Coquet and to a narrow glaciated valley overlooked to the east by another outlying sandstone hill that rises to the same height as Lordenshaw. There is a rise to the hillfort from the south west, then the land slopes away to the north east, finger-like, to the Whitton Burn. This raised, prominent extension of the Simonside Hills reaches 268m.OD, and is made up of outcrop Fell sandstone, with only a thin layer of acidic soil. There are patches of bright orange soil thrown up by rabbits, and a dark grey soil elsewhere. The whole area has archaeology of many different periods, one of the most recent and most significant being the clearance of much of the land to the east for ?improvement? for the growing of grain on a regular close-running rig and furrow system. This must have destroyed some surface archaeology, and may have resulted in some of the stone heaps that could also be prehistoric burial mounds. Prominent on the hilltop is a ?fort?, a ditched Iron Age enclosure that has been re-used as a Romano-British settlement. The slope southwards to the modern road and car park has many field walls, some of cobble and soil construction, and others of vertically--set sandstones. Some of these walls cross one another, and represent different episodes in the use of the land. The oldest features belong to the late Neolithic period, represented by cup and ring marked rocks over a wide area. The motifs vary from simple cups to more complex ringed cups and grooves, but there is a characteristic regional phenomenon of long grooves or channels that follow the slope of the outcrop sheets on the east side of the hill. It is impossible to date outcrop markings, but in this area three possible early bronze age cairns have been built on marked outcrop rock, showing that the latter are either contemporary or earlier, and also showing that the sites were already of great importance in the landscape before the cairns were added. All the marked rocks in situ are at prominent viewpoints, some commanding many miles of territory. A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused. Modern quarrying has certainly taken its toll, especially on the north west, where masses of freestone have been removed, leaving holes in the ground like bomb craters, and the main block of rock art (2c) bears every sign of the quarrying process. Add to that a network of other walls, including those for sheilings (temporary herds? houses and gardens), and it is likely that we have lost a large proportion of rock art. East Lordenshaw 5 notes: The descent from the cairn towards the Whitton Burn before an area of fenced pasture is reached is heather--covered, with small protruding rock outcrops, hollow ways associated with recent quarrying, and small quarries. It is also an area of occasional rock art (East Lordenshaw 5 panels), which is difficult to find and difficult to see. It may be that there has been more erosion here or that the markings were more tentative in the first place. They have been difficult to record, as some show up on careful rubbings but not with the naked eye. They were discovered by Mr Newbigin, who began his survey at an open cist, still visible, next to which a very small cist was more recently exposed (by persons unknown). D.Dixon had described the mound as being 32' diameter and 5' high, with no evidence of interment when it was excavated by Canon Greenwell.

Add to that a network of other walls, including those for sheilings (temporary herds? houses and gardens), and it is likely that we have lost a large proportion of rock art. East Lordenshaw 4a-d notes: The outcrops so far seen along the ridge prepare us for the massive series to come, spectacular when they are whitened by the sun. The predominant motifs are large cups (or small basins) and long artificial grooves that run down the slopes into the ground. They begin to the north of the wall that joins the Deer Park wall above it. East Lordenshaw 4a-d are really all part of the same rock, split, with grass growing among the spaces. Mr. Newbigin describes its discovery: ""On first examination only a very small portion was visible, the bulk being completely filled in with turf. The lower portion ran into ground."" It was excavated, and left open. He found a channel 30' (9m.) long, maximum depth 6"" (0.15m.), maximum width 8""(0.20m), the bottom generally rounded and smooth. Its character was ""regularly maintained."" He recorded 39 cups around the channel head, one being directly at the channel head and connected with it. He mentions the other 26 scattered cups, and one with a single ring. In all, he recorded 66 cups. He counted 27 cups on the vertical face, mostly arranged in vertical rows, and four ducts in addition to the big channel, with some cups on the line of the ducts. He added, ""There are six steps or slashes 7""-9"" long (0.18m-0.23m) in a horizontal line along the steep slope which appeared when soil was taken away from the lower part of the rock. He mentions a ringed cup with ""faintly marked ducts running into each other at right angles, apparently unconnected with any of the cups"". It is very important to have such information, and particularly to know that much of the rock was buried, the turf acting as a protection from erosion. The vertical part, for example, was buried, and it is here where we see the unique device of making lines of cups like rows of buttons, some linked with grooves that start higher up the rock, or flanking these grooves. Cups predominate, and the large channel begins with one and is surrounded by them." 1272,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example).

It was excavated, and left open. He found a channel 30' (9m.) long, maximum depth 6"" (0.15m.), maximum width 8""(0.20m), the bottom generally rounded and smooth. Its character was ""regularly maintained."" He recorded 39 cups around the channel head, one being directly at the channel head and connected with it. He mentions the other 26 scattered cups, and one with a single ring. In all, he recorded 66 cups. He counted 27 cups on the vertical face, mostly arranged in vertical rows, and four ducts in addition to the big channel, with some cups on the line of the ducts. He added, ""There are six steps or slashes 7""-9"" long (0.18m-0.23m) in a horizontal line along the steep slope which appeared when soil was taken away from the lower part of the rock. He mentions a ringed cup with ""faintly marked ducts running into each other at right angles, apparently unconnected with any of the cups"". It is very important to have such information, and particularly to know that much of the rock was buried, the turf acting as a protection from erosion. The vertical part, for example, was buried, and it is here where we see the unique device of making lines of cups like rows of buttons, some linked with grooves that start higher up the rock, or flanking these grooves. Cups predominate, and the large channel begins with one and is surrounded by them." 1277,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example).

They begin to the north of the wall that joins the Deer Park wall above it. East Lordenshaw 4a-d are really all part of the same rock, split, with grass growing among the spaces. Mr. Newbigin describes its discovery: ""On first examination only a very small portion was visible, the bulk being completely filled in with turf. The lower portion ran into ground."" It was excavated, and left open. He found a channel 30' (9m.) long, maximum depth 6"" (0.15m.), maximum width 8""(0.20m), the bottom generally rounded and smooth. Its character was ""regularly maintained."" He recorded 39 cups around the channel head, one being directly at the channel head and connected with it. He mentions the other 26 scattered cups, and one with a single ring. In all, he recorded 66 cups. He counted 27 cups on the vertical face, mostly arranged in vertical rows, and four ducts in addition to the big channel, with some cups on the line of the ducts. He added, ""There are six steps or slashes 7""-9"" long (0.18m-0.23m) in a horizontal line along the steep slope which appeared when soil was taken away from the lower part of the rock. He mentions a ringed cup with ""faintly marked ducts running into each other at right angles, apparently unconnected with any of the cups"". It is very important to have such information, and particularly to know that much of the rock was buried, the turf acting as a protection from erosion. The vertical part, for example, was buried, and it is here where we see the unique device of making lines of cups like rows of buttons, some linked with grooves that start higher up the rock, or flanking these grooves. Cups predominate, and the large channel begins with one and is surrounded by them." 1283,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example).

Occasional rock outcrops break the bracken- and heather-covered slopes. At the highest terrace edge the ground falls away southeast and rises more gently to the northeast. Rock art is found scattered across the slopes and near the terrace edges. Several springs in these slopes flow to the Whitton Burn and Coquet Valleys, which have incised deep courses through the hills. Many views can be obtained across the area. The flattened, much modified, top of Lordenshaw Hill is the highest immediate point, whilst further slopes and terraces of the Fell Sandstone Group rise to the Simonside ridge. The views from all the rock art locations include much of the sandstone group?s arc and the northwest slopes to the Whitton Burn, and more distantly, across Coquetdale, the Cheviot Hills. Views southeast from some of the rock art are blocked by the slopes and terrace edges, though the highest locations also have distant views this way. Other rock art areas visible include Football Cairn, Chirnells Moor, West Hills and Westcliffe House. The North and East Lordenshaw rock art areas are only partially visible. Several monuments that might be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age have been identified. These include cairns located on both of the terrace edges. Two are thought to be burial cairns, likely Bronze Age, being situated at the false crest of the hill a situation typical for these monuments. One of these is directly associated with the Horseshoe Panel, using the panel almost as a kerbstone. Other cairns might result from clearance of fields created on the terrace ?levels?. It is possible, though unproved, that these may date to the first period of Bronze Age agricultural clearance in the area. A small settlement of round houses and enclosure walls of Iron Age-Romano-British date has been recorded on Birky Hill, where rock art panels have also been recorded. An encircling ditch incorporating further rock art panels runs around the top of the Lordenshaw Hill. A stonewall runs across the area from the second terrace area and down the northwestern slopes. This also incorporates rock art panels. The wall is recorded as the boundary of Rothbury Forest, attested in Medieval documents, and joined by a series of sod cast dykes running along and across the lower terrace edge. These boundaries define areas of rigg and furrow ploughing, with further clearance cairns and, in part, also explain the distribution of the rock art. Quarrying ( thought to be Medieval or later) has taken place along some of the upper terrace edge, removing much rock and, in places, parts of rock art panels.

He trenched the mound from west to east 'right down to the moor-band', which was undisturbed. He favoured a late eighteenth to early nineteenth--century origin of the mound for it lies in the 'Old Improvement? on the parish map. He excavated two other mounds and drew a blank. His photograph of the mound and rock shows the decorated slab well clear of the smaller stones, but they have crept back.

A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused. Modern quarrying has certainly taken its toll, especially on the north west, where masses of freestone have been removed, leaving holes in the ground like bomb craters, and the main block of rock art (2c) bears every sign of the quarrying process.

This moorland and rough grazing area lies on Lordenshaw Hill?s western flanks, and comprises a series of terraces in the Fell Sandstone Group arc. Occasional rock outcrops break the bracken- and heather-covered slopes. At the highest terrace edge the ground falls away southeast and rises more gently to the northeast. Rock art is found scattered across the slopes and near the terrace edges. Several springs in these slopes flow to the Whitton Burn and Coquet Valleys, which have incised deep courses through the hills. Many views can be obtained across the area. The flattened, much modified, top of Lordenshaw Hill is the highest immediate point, whilst further slopes and terraces of the Fell Sandstone Group rise to the Simonside ridge. The views from all the rock art locations include much of the sandstone group?s arc and the northwest slopes to the Whitton Burn, and more distantly, across Coquetdale, the Cheviot Hills. Views southeast from some of the rock art are blocked by the slopes and terrace edges, though the highest locations also have distant views this way. Other rock art areas visible include Football Cairn, Chirnells Moor, West Hills and Westcliffe House. The North and East Lordenshaw rock art areas are only partially visible. Several monuments that might be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age have been identified. These include cairns located on both of the terrace edges. Two are thought to be burial cairns, likely Bronze Age, being situated at the false crest of the hill a situation typical for these monuments. One of these is directly associated with the Horseshoe Panel, using the panel almost as a kerbstone. Other cairns might result from clearance of fields created on the terrace ?levels?. It is possible, though unproved, that these may date to the first period of Bronze Age agricultural clearance in the area. A small settlement of round houses and enclosure walls of Iron Age-Romano-British date has been recorded on Birky Hill, where rock art panels have also been recorded. An encircling ditch incorporating further rock art panels runs around the top of the Lordenshaw Hill. A stonewall runs across the area from the second terrace area and down the northwestern slopes. This also incorporates rock art panels. The wall is recorded as the boundary of Rothbury Forest, attested in Medieval documents, and joined by a series of sod cast dykes running along and across the lower terrace edge. These boundaries define areas of rigg and furrow ploughing, with further clearance cairns and, in part, also explain the distribution of the rock art. Quarrying ( thought to be Medieval or later) has taken place along some of the upper terrace edge, removing much rock and, in places, parts of rock art panels. This has resulted in extraction hollows northeast of the main panel, sheer and sharp edges of stone, and loose small waste stones.

Other marked rocks in this area are mainly sheet outcrops that continue below the eastern line of the hillfort along the valley to the Coquet. This outcrop ridge, quarried in places, is a dramatic feature of the area, and the exposed rock is grey to white. The exposure of sloping sandstone has led prehistoric people think of making long grooves and channels, together with large cups and cups and rings - characteristics that extend to the sites overlooking the Whitton Burn as it joins the Coquet, and the old golf course to the north. The ridge provides a continuous viewpoint not only along the valley itself in both directions, but to the Cartington--Skirlaw pike--Longframlington Common ranges. Some of the view south west is limited by the rising ground to the east which used to have many cairns on top. The valley has been cleared and cultivated, but it still has an alignment of small standing stones and some cairns that could be either for burial or from agricultural clearance. The west ridge above these outcrops has burial cairns, one standing on decorated outcrop, and there is a line of stones from the hillfort north east on the downslope of the ridge. All the marked rocks lie to the east to north east of this spine.

From the photographs it appears to have been a panel, with four single cup marks, possibly with a scalloped edge thought, elsewhere, indicative of prehistoric quarrying. The motifs do not appear to cut across the edges of the panel, and could indicate that the panel was created from an existing boulder, and portable, panel. Dixon noted his belief, though not held by all the excavators, that all four depressions were to be recorded as single cup marks. The cairn was located on a knoll or projecting ridge, above steep slopes to the north and east, as well as below further slopes to the south and west.

Where the surface flattens out to the south, the part that juts out is covered with cups, with only one or two small grooves added. There is a well--made central cup with groove running from it, surrounded by three concentric circles, but other similar complex figures are incomplete, and some eroded. Ridges in the rock have been well-utilised, for natural irregularities have suggested how they can be used with the general repertoire of symbols. This ensures that the art blends with the living rock and the landscape beyond it.

It is unlikely to have been the only marked outcrop along this ridge, for just to the north is a massive quarry hole from which a similar sized block has been removed. Wedge marks in a line on the western edge and broken motifs show one technique involved in breaking off pieces of rock, for wooden wedges were inserted, water poured on, and the resulting stress of expansion split the rock. This impressive rock has been vandalised, a rare occurrence in modern times, by someone chipping a design and the words 'Rock Map', a misguided and arrogant assumption that this is what it was.

This moorland and rough grazing area lies on Lordenshaw Hill?s western flanks, and comprises a series of terraces in the Fell Sandstone Group arc. Occasional rock outcrops break the bracken- and heather-covered slopes. At the highest terrace edge the ground falls away southeast and rises more gently to the northeast. Rock art is found scattered across the slopes and near the terrace edges. Several springs in these slopes flow to the Whitton Burn and Coquet Valleys, which have incised deep courses through the hills. Many views can be obtained across the area. The flattened, much modified, top of Lordenshaw Hill is the highest immediate point, whilst further slopes and terraces of the Fell Sandstone Group rise to the Simonside ridge. The views from all the rock art locations include much of the sandstone group?s arc and the northwest slopes to the Whitton Burn, and more distantly, across Coquetdale, the Cheviot Hills. Views southeast from some of the rock art are blocked by the slopes and terrace edges, though the highest locations also have distant views this way. Other rock art areas visible include Football Cairn, Chirnells Moor, West Hills and Westcliffe House. The North and East Lordenshaw rock art areas are only partially visible. Several monuments that might be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age have been identified. These include cairns located on both of the terrace edges. Two are thought to be burial cairns, likely Bronze Age, being situated at the false crest of the hill a situation typical for these monuments. One of these is directly associated with the Horseshoe Panel, using the panel almost as a kerbstone. Other cairns might result from clearance of fields created on the terrace ?levels?. It is possible, though unproved, that these may date to the first period of Bronze Age agricultural clearance in the area. A small settlement of round houses and enclosure walls of Iron Age-Romano-British date has been recorded on Birky Hill, where rock art panels have also been recorded. An encircling ditch incorporating further rock art panels runs around the top of the Lordenshaw Hill. A stonewall runs across the area from the second terrace area and down the northwestern slopes. This also incorporates rock art panels. The wall is recorded as the boundary of Rothbury Forest, attested in Medieval documents, and joined by a series of sod cast dykes running along and across the lower terrace edge. These boundaries define areas of rigg and furrow ploughing, with further clearance cairns and, in part, also explain the distribution of the rock art. Quarrying ( thought to be Medieval or later) has taken place along some of the upper terrace edge, removing much rock and, in places, parts of rock art panels. This has resulted in extraction hollows northeast of the main panel, sheer and sharp edges of stone, and loose small waste stones. Tool marks can also be seen in some of the stone remaining." 1318,3,Sandstone 1318,7,Sandstone 1318,4,2 ringed cups with arcs around 2 ringed cups with grooves issuing from rings 2 cups at both ends of grooves/dumbbells 1318,5,Peck marks in the rock 11 wedge marks around the south and west edges of the main panel 1318,1,"This is a huge piece of rock bearing many prehistoric motifs. This is despite the determined efforts of quarrymen to remove portions of it in more recent times. The shape and size of the original panel is unknown ? though the appearance of truncated motifs to the very edge of the panel implies the quarried sections were carved. The remaining portion has sheer and sharp faces on the northeastern, southern and western sides. It tilts unevenly across the whole surface from west to east, with continual undulations and localised higher areas. There is a large natural bowl at the northern end. The surrounding loose stones and lower portions attached to the main rock are the result of the quarrying and are undecorated, with one exception. Much of the tilted surface of the rock has many rock art motifs across it. Two further carvings are of note ? an apparent cup and ring outline, and the inscription ?ROCK MAP? appear to be graffiti of comparatively recent date. A range of motif types is also echoed by the variety of motif positions; some occupy prominent positions at the top, others nearer the base. Various levels of the rock have been inscribed with various motifs; in some cases it is possible that differential weathering has meant the loss of motifs. A number of natural basins and grooves have been used with the motifs. Traces of pronounced weathering can also be seen at the highest parts of the rock. No specific details of the size and decoration of the panel are known from the 19th century records of the stone. These note only the bulk and decoration of the stone generally. The panel is situated at the crest of one of the higher terraces to the southwest of Lordenshaw Hill, with other rocky outcrops along the ridge. The ground slopes off the terrace to give views to further terraces and valleys to western aspects, and along the inner, steeper and crag-broken, arc of the Fell Sandstone Group. These views include other rock panels on the same terrace edge, the Birky Hill and Horseshoe rock art panel group areas on the first terrace below, before more distant rock art areas of West Hills, Chirnells Moor and the Football Cairn areas on the other side of the Coquet. Further afield the more distant Cheviot Hills can be seen across the valley.

There is a rise to the hillfort from the south west, then the land slopes away to the north east, finger-like, to the Whitton Burn. This raised, prominent extension of the Simonside Hills reaches 268m.OD, and is made up of outcrop Fell sandstone, with only a thin layer of acidic soil. There are patches of bright orange soil thrown up by rabbits, and a dark grey soil elsewhere. The whole area has archaeology of many different periods, one of the most recent and most significant being the clearance of much of the land to the east for ?improvement? for the growing of grain on a regular close-running rig and furrow system. This must have destroyed some surface archaeology, and may have resulted in some of the stone heaps that could also be prehistoric burial mounds. Prominent on the hilltop is a ?fort?, a ditched Iron Age enclosure that has been re-used as a Romano-British settlement. The slope southwards to the modern road and car park has many field walls, some of cobble and soil construction, and others of vertically--set sandstones. Some of these walls cross one another, and represent different episodes in the use of the land. The oldest features belong to the late Neolithic period, represented by cup and ring marked rocks over a wide area. The motifs vary from simple cups to more complex ringed cups and grooves, but there is a characteristic regional phenomenon of long grooves or channels that follow the slope of the outcrop sheets on the east side of the hill. It is impossible to date outcrop markings, but in this area three possible early bronze age cairns have been built on marked outcrop rock, showing that the latter are either contemporary or earlier, and also showing that the sites were already of great importance in the landscape before the cairns were added. All the marked rocks in situ are at prominent viewpoints, some commanding many miles of territory. A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused. Modern quarrying has certainly taken its toll, especially on the north west, where masses of freestone have been removed, leaving holes in the ground like bomb craters, and the main block of rock art (2c) bears every sign of the quarrying process. Add to that a network of other walls, including those for sheilings (temporary herds? houses and gardens), and it is likely that we have lost a large proportion of rock art. East Lordenshaw 3 notes: The East Lordenshaw 3 panels are associated with associated with the hollow ways, but the markings most probably preceded its construction. Other marked rocks in this area are mainly sheet outcrops that continue below the eastern line of the hillfort along the valley to the Coquet. This outcrop ridge, quarried in places, is a dramatic feature of the area, and the exposed rock is grey to white. The exposure of sloping sandstone has led prehistoric people think of making long grooves and channels, together with large cups and cups and rings - characteristics that extend to the sites overlooking the Whitton Burn as it joins the Coquet, and the old golf course to the north. The ridge provides a continuous viewpoint not only along the valley itself in both directions, but to the Cartington--Skirlaw pike--Longframlington Common ranges. Some of the view south west is limited by the rising ground to the east which used to have many cairns on top. The valley has been cleared and cultivated, but it still has an alignment of small standing stones and some cairns that could be either for burial or from agricultural clearance. The west ridge above these outcrops has burial cairns, one standing on decorated outcrop, and there is a line of stones from the hillfort north east on the downslope of the ridge. All the marked rocks lie to the east to north east of this spine. None has been found to the north west, and the West Lordenshaw 1 and 2 panels, already described, mark the limit of rocks with motifs on that side. It is an exhilarating landscape, full of interest. Cragside with its planted acres and Victorian house is prominent, with the high heather moorland beyond, where other survivals of prehistory are found, such as the Debdon Whitefield village of round houses, the cairnfield on Longframlington Common, and more rock art and cairns on Cartington. All these basins (associated with some of East Lordenshaw 3i) were reported by Mr E R Newbigin in a paper that he read in 1931. He and his friends discovered the whole eastern range of marked rocks, mainly by uncovering them. He had the same problem of distinguishing between natural and artificial markings. He did not draw the rocks, but photographed many, and described their locations. The written account is in Archaeologia Aeliana 4 .1X. 50-67. Notes on a series of Unrecorded Incised Rocks at Lordenshaw, and this was summarised in Northumberland County History, Vol.15. East Lordenshaw 3(i) begins a preference for marking long grooves down the rock that continues along the rest of the ridge. Here we are in no doubt, as the channel heads begin with cups, and cups cluster around the heads. There are seven such cups around the central channel, and a faint cup and ring begins another. There are two basins within the channels, and these may have been natural, but enhanced. The outcrop sheet slopes steeply to the east valley. It is just below a ridge." 1319,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example).

The flattened, much modified, top of Lordenshaw Hill is the highest immediate point, whilst further slopes and terraces of the Fell Sandstone Group rise to the Simonside ridge. The views from all the rock art locations include much of the sandstone group?s arc and the northwest slopes to the Whitton Burn, and more distantly, across Coquetdale, the Cheviot Hills. Views southeast from some of the rock art are blocked by the slopes and terrace edges, though the highest locations also have distant views this way. Other rock art areas visible include Football Cairn, Chirnells Moor, West Hills and Westcliffe House. The North and East Lordenshaw rock art areas are only partially visible. Several monuments that might be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age have been identified. These include cairns located on both of the terrace edges. Two are thought to be burial cairns, likely Bronze Age, being situated at the false crest of the hill a situation typical for these monuments. One of these is directly associated with the Horseshoe Panel, using the panel almost as a kerbstone. Other cairns might result from clearance of fields created on the terrace ?levels?. It is possible, though unproved, that these may date to the first period of Bronze Age agricultural clearance in the area. A small settlement of round houses and enclosure walls of Iron Age-Romano-British date has been recorded on Birky Hill, where rock art panels have also been recorded. An encircling ditch incorporating further rock art panels runs around the top of the Lordenshaw Hill. A stonewall runs across the area from the second terrace area and down the northwestern slopes. This also incorporates rock art panels. The wall is recorded as the boundary of Rothbury Forest, attested in Medieval documents, and joined by a series of sod cast dykes running along and across the lower terrace edge. These boundaries define areas of rigg and furrow ploughing, with further clearance cairns and, in part, also explain the distribution of the rock art. Quarrying ( thought to be Medieval or later) has taken place along some of the upper terrace edge, removing much rock and, in places, parts of rock art panels. This has resulted in extraction hollows northeast of the main panel, sheer and sharp edges of stone, and loose small waste stones. Tool marks can also be seen in some of the stone remaining." 1323,3,Sandstone 1323,7,Sandstone 1323,10003,Sheep walking on the carvings. 1323,5,"Possible, but unlikely given natural erosion" 1323,1,A large squared block of sandstone apparently placed here upon others.

A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused.

Other marked rocks in this area are mainly sheet outcrops that continue below the eastern line of the hillfort along the valley to the Coquet. This outcrop ridge, quarried in places, is a dramatic feature of the area, and the exposed rock is grey to white. The exposure of sloping sandstone has led prehistoric people think of making long grooves and channels, together with large cups and cups and rings - characteristics that extend to the sites overlooking the Whitton Burn as it joins the Coquet, and the old golf course to the north. The ridge provides a continuous viewpoint not only along the valley itself in both directions, but to the Cartington--Skirlaw pike--Longframlington Common ranges. Some of the view south west is limited by the rising ground to the east which used to have many cairns on top. The valley has been cleared and cultivated, but it still has an alignment of small standing stones and some cairns that could be either for burial or from agricultural clearance. The west ridge above these outcrops has burial cairns, one standing on decorated outcrop, and there is a line of stones from the hillfort north east on the downslope of the ridge. All the marked rocks lie to the east to north east of this spine.

South Lordenshaw 1-3 notes: The area to the south of the hillfort, between it and the car park, is interesting. There are obvious field walls and a number of cairns made of large blocks and cobbles. One or two of these cairns appear to be of the 'radial' type, with three 'walls' coming from the centre. This type of cairn, on a larger scale, was excavated at Turf Knowe in the Ingram valley and contained cremations and food vessels. The walls are in some cases more recent than the cairns, and it is possible that some made use of available piles of stone in their construction. It is a little-known part of the area, and questions about its use over centuries may only be answered by excavation. Suffice it to say that if we are looking for a prehistoric presence we have cairns and some low enclosure walls that belong there. Peter Topping in a recent survey has located two marked stones in this area. In November, 1997, I recorded cup marks on outcrop that underlies a perched boulder, just south of a cairn with a central standing stone, with a low field wall running to the west. The linear outcrop runs N-S, and from it can be seen rock 2c to the north west and the hollow way at 66 degrees. Further north west is another outcrop, a whale-backed mass that has two basins (possibly artificial) and a row of five midget cups. 17m north is a radial cairn. All these lie on the slope going up to the hillfort, and look across the cairnfield and wall systems. Towards the fortified enclosure and the dry valley that flanks it to the south east there is a curious landscape in which lines of vertically--placed stones predominate before the valley floor and the rise eastwards give way to rigg and furrow clearance and ploughing. These lines of stones are particularly clear when they form the flanking low walls of hollow ways that lead up to the fort and Romano-British settlement, and may be associated with the later use of the hillfort area when parts of the rampart and ditch were levelled to enclose a small village of circular huts." 1327,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example).

Single cup marks predominate and a large bowl, with turf cover inside, may have been carved or enhanced as a naturally originating feature or as a motif. Other large bowls are also evident across this part of the hillside. The origin of the large bowl is uncertain, but it appears that there may be tooling marks present within it. The surface of the panel is irregular and subject to weathering. Of the motifs themselves there appears a range of sizes of the cup marks and some, though not everywhere, arrangement of the motifs of cup marks in threes. Little enhancement of the grooves and various natural features has been made, though these run throughout the whole length of the panel.

This raised, prominent extension of the Simonside Hills reaches 268m.OD, and is made up of outcrop Fell sandstone, with only a thin layer of acidic soil. There are patches of bright orange soil thrown up by rabbits, and a dark grey soil elsewhere. The whole area has archaeology of many different periods, one of the most recent and most significant being the clearance of much of the land to the east for ?improvement? for the growing of grain on a regular close-running rig and furrow system.

Some of these walls cross one another, and represent different episodes in the use of the land. The oldest features belong to the late Neolithic period, represented by cup and ring marked rocks over a wide area. The motifs vary from simple cups to more complex ringed cups and grooves, but there is a characteristic regional phenomenon of long grooves or channels that follow the slope of the outcrop sheets on the east side of the hill. It is impossible to date outcrop markings, but in this area three possible early bronze age cairns have been built on marked outcrop rock, showing that the latter are either contemporary or earlier, and also showing that the sites were already of great importance in the landscape before the cairns were added. All the marked rocks in situ are at prominent viewpoints, some commanding many miles of territory. A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused. Modern quarrying has certainly taken its toll, especially on the north west, where masses of freestone have been removed, leaving holes in the ground like bomb craters, and the main block of rock art (2c) bears every sign of the quarrying process. Add to that a network of other walls, including those for sheilings (temporary herds? houses and gardens), and it is likely that we have lost a large proportion of rock art. South Lordenshaw 1-3 notes: The area to the south of the hillfort, between it and the car park, is interesting. There are obvious field walls and a number of cairns made of large blocks and cobbles. One or two of these cairns appear to be of the 'radial' type, with three 'walls' coming from the centre. This type of cairn, on a larger scale, was excavated at Turf Knowe in the Ingram valley and contained cremations and food vessels. The walls are in some cases more recent than the cairns, and it is possible that some made use of available piles of stone in their construction. It is a little-known part of the area, and questions about its use over centuries may only be answered by excavation. Suffice it to say that if we are looking for a prehistoric presence we have cairns and some low enclosure walls that belong there. Peter Topping in a recent survey has located two marked stones in this area. In November, 1997, I recorded cup marks on outcrop that underlies a perched boulder, just south of a cairn with a central standing stone, with a low field wall running to the west. The linear outcrop runs N-S, and from it can be seen rock 2c to the north west and the hollow way at 66 degrees. Further north west is another outcrop, a whale-backed mass that has two basins (possibly artificial) and a row of five midget cups. 17m north is a radial cairn. All these lie on the slope going up to the hillfort, and look across the cairnfield and wall systems. Towards the fortified enclosure and the dry valley that flanks it to the south east there is a curious landscape in which lines of vertically--placed stones predominate before the valley floor and the rise eastwards give way to rigg and furrow clearance and ploughing. These lines of stones are particularly clear when they form the flanking low walls of hollow ways that lead up to the fort and Romano-British settlement, and may be associated with the later use of the hillfort area when parts of the rampart and ditch were levelled to enclose a small village of circular huts." 1330,1,"A large sloping bedrock outcrop described in the Beckensall Archive as having cups with rings.

This moorland and rough grazing area lies on Lordenshaw Hill?s western flanks, and comprises a series of terraces in the Fell Sandstone Group arc. Occasional rock outcrops break the bracken- and heather-covered slopes. At the highest terrace edge the ground falls away southeast and rises more gently to the northeast. Rock art is found scattered across the slopes and near the terrace edges. Several springs in these slopes flow to the Whitton Burn and Coquet Valleys, which have incised deep courses through the hills. Many views can be obtained across the area. The flattened, much modified, top of Lordenshaw Hill is the highest immediate point, whilst further slopes and terraces of the Fell Sandstone Group rise to the Simonside ridge. The views from all the rock art locations include much of the sandstone group?s arc and the northwest slopes to the Whitton Burn, and more distantly, across Coquetdale, the Cheviot Hills. Views southeast from some of the rock art are blocked by the slopes and terrace edges, though the highest locations also have distant views this way. Other rock art areas visible include Football Cairn, Chirnells Moor, West Hills and Westcliffe House. The North and East Lordenshaw rock art areas are only partially visible. Several monuments that might be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age have been identified. These include cairns located on both of the terrace edges. Two are thought to be burial cairns, likely Bronze Age, being situated at the false crest of the hill a situation typical for these monuments. One of these is directly associated with the Horseshoe Panel, using the panel almost as a kerbstone. Other cairns might result from clearance of fields created on the terrace ?levels?. It is possible, though unproved, that these may date to the first period of Bronze Age agricultural clearance in the area. A small settlement of round houses and enclosure walls of Iron Age-Romano-British date has been recorded on Birky Hill, where rock art panels have also been recorded. An encircling ditch incorporating further rock art panels runs around the top of the Lordenshaw Hill. A stonewall runs across the area from the second terrace area and down the northwestern slopes. This also incorporates rock art panels. The wall is recorded as the boundary of Rothbury Forest, attested in Medieval documents, and joined by a series of sod cast dykes running along and across the lower terrace edge. These boundaries define areas of rigg and furrow ploughing, with further clearance cairns and, in part, also explain the distribution of the rock art. Quarrying ( thought to be Medieval or later) has taken place along some of the upper terrace edge, removing much rock and, in places, parts of rock art panels. This has resulted in extraction hollows northeast of the main panel, sheer and sharp edges of stone, and loose small waste stones.

The highest cairn incorporates rock art panels in its kerbstones, though other cairns don?t include any other rock art panels. Agricultural clearance has taken place on the gentler slopes. Several small cairns may be Bronze Age in date, relating to the initial clearance of the ground. Several boundaries, incorporating further rock art panels, link to the settlement remains on top of Lordenshaw Hill, and are presumably Romano-British in date, Post Medieval intake of land bounded by a lengthy earthen dyke, incorporates stones cleared from the fields with rigg and likely removing any earlier monuments. A large cairn has been created in this intake, and rock art panels have been placed on it.

General introduction to Lordenshaw: The sandstone promontory on which Lordenshaw stands is to the north east of the Simonside --Dove Crags range of hills. Its north west and south east flanks drop respectively to Whitton Dean, a tributary of the Coquet and to a narrow glaciated valley overlooked to the east by another outlying sandstone hill that rises to the same height as Lordenshaw. There is a rise to the hillfort from the south west, then the land slopes away to the north east, finger-like, to the Whitton Burn. This raised, prominent extension of the Simonside Hills reaches 268m.OD, and is made up of outcrop Fell sandstone, with only a thin layer of acidic soil. There are patches of bright orange soil thrown up by rabbits, and a dark grey soil elsewhere. The whole area has archaeology of many different periods, one of the most recent and most significant being the clearance of much of the land to the east for ?improvement? for the growing of grain on a regular close-running rig and furrow system. This must have destroyed some surface archaeology, and may have resulted in some of the stone heaps that could also be prehistoric burial mounds. Prominent on the hilltop is a ?fort?, a ditched Iron Age enclosure that has been re-used as a Romano-British settlement. The slope southwards to the modern road and car park has many field walls, some of cobble and soil construction, and others of vertically--set sandstones. Some of these walls cross one another, and represent different episodes in the use of the land. The oldest features belong to the late Neolithic period, represented by cup and ring marked rocks over a wide area. The motifs vary from simple cups to more complex ringed cups and grooves, but there is a characteristic regional phenomenon of long grooves or channels that follow the slope of the outcrop sheets on the east side of the hill. It is impossible to date outcrop markings, but in this area three possible early bronze age cairns have been built on marked outcrop rock, showing that the latter are either contemporary or earlier, and also showing that the sites were already of great importance in the landscape before the cairns were added. All the marked rocks in situ are at prominent viewpoints, some commanding many miles of territory. A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused.

South Lordenshaw 1-3 notes: The area to the south of the hillfort, between it and the car park, is interesting. There are obvious field walls and a number of cairns made of large blocks and cobbles. One or two of these cairns appear to be of the 'radial' type, with three 'walls' coming from the centre. This type of cairn, on a larger scale, was excavated at Turf Knowe in the Ingram valley and contained cremations and food vessels. The walls are in some cases more recent than the cairns, and it is possible that some made use of available piles of stone in their construction. It is a little-known part of the area, and questions about its use over centuries may only be answered by excavation. Suffice it to say that if we are looking for a prehistoric presence we have cairns and some low enclosure walls that belong there. Peter Topping in a recent survey has located two marked stones in this area. In November, 1997, I recorded cup marks on outcrop that underlies a perched boulder, just south of a cairn with a central standing stone, with a low field wall running to the west. The linear outcrop runs N-S, and from it can be seen rock 2c to the north west and the hollow way at 66 degrees. Further north west is another outcrop, a whale-backed mass that has two basins (possibly artificial) and a row of five midget cups. 17m north is a radial cairn. All these lie on the slope going up to the hillfort, and look across the cairnfield and wall systems. Towards the fortified enclosure and the dry valley that flanks it to the south east there is a curious landscape in which lines of vertically--placed stones predominate before the valley floor and the rise eastwards give way to rigg and furrow clearance and ploughing. These lines of stones are particularly clear when they form the flanking low walls of hollow ways that lead up to the fort and Romano-British settlement, and may be associated with the later use of the hillfort area when parts of the rampart and ditch were levelled to enclose a small village of circular huts." 1336,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example).

It is divided from the Buttony sites to the east by a small stream and valley. Although motifs on it have disappeared, George Tate (1865) has left an account and drawings of them. He says, ""On the scalp of the rock where it dips into the hill, four figures are traceable; but from being very much defaced, it is difficult to make out these forms, even when viewed under a favourable light"". The figures that he draws are a cup and ring, a cup, ring, a second interrupted ring from which curved grooves extend, a cup and three concentric rings, and a cup and two concentric rings. On the perpendicular western face he found and drew some other designs which are not of the same type; he thought them more likely to be medieval. The importance of this place therefore continued, and from it the Milfield Plain and Cheviots are viewed. The landscape has changed since then, in that some monuments have been cleared away. The most recent disturbance is the laying of a gas pipeline. The ritual significance of the area is suggested by reports of burials. At NU 00570 30620 (Mill Lands), W Procter reported that "" In 1867 a cist was uncovered by the plough in a field near this (Gled Law) quite close to 'Cuddy's Cove'. Greenwell wrote, ""The cist was found on June 21, 1867, in a sandy knoll rising from the River Till and in close proximity to one of the rocks engraved with the circular markings"". This has gone. Davison and Davison (1935-6) said that ""evidence still exists to show that Gled Law was used for burial purposes. It would be interesting to excavate at least two of the large mounds on the hill, either of which may be a barrow."" It is likely that more archaeology has been destroyed or covered over. For example, Mr Davison also recorded ""One cup with a faintly discernible ring"" where it is now pasture. Mr. Tate reported that by 1868 ""seven groups of inscriptions have recently been discovered. In this assemblage of sculptures, there are traceable thirty-six figures, mostly typical forms; yet in some cases, so varied and combined, as to present new figures."" Plate V shows them, drawn from rubbings made by Mr. William Procter, Jnr. Mr. Bruce also drew some of them. The figures on Gled Law Site 2a in my illustration, with its three radial grooves, was discovered by Mrs. Procter. Mr. Tate says, "" The whole of these sculptures were rudely formed, the incisions are shallow, and the tool marks distinct; the circles are irregular and had evidently been drawn without instrumental aid."" He also noted that, ""About fifty yards from these sculptures, Mr. Procter has recently discovered the fragments of a sepulchral urn of the ordinary ancient British type."" His observations on how the motifs were made suggests that the rocks had been covered over for some time, leaving the motifs more or less in their pristine state. What Mr. Tate considered ""rudely formed"" means that no attempt had been made to deepen or smooth the cups and grooves; they were left with the pick marks clear." 1346,3,Sandstone 1347,10008,Garleigh Moor East 1 is to the west of the lower sandstone band. 1347,3,Sandstone 1347,1,"A quarried and apparently shaped upright boulder standing clear of others and of the natural scarp some 10 m away.

Though the cross-sections along the length and across the width will vary the motif is quite deep. It is thought that this is a manmade motif based upon the depth and the absence of any other depressions formed by geological losses or metrological conditions across the whole visible surface. The motif gives credence to Fontburn a(iv)'s motif. The motif appears as the only large depression across the whole visible surface of the rock and tucked in one corner. There only appears one other depression upon the whole surface, this is markedly less deep and little bigger than fingertip size. By virtue of the main sloping face the motif at the top is displayed to advantage downslope. The panel is on a valley side - slightly elevated above the low ground top the side of the Fallowlees Burn - but views are limited along the valley by the slopes, and no distant views are obtained along and outside of the valley. There are a few other stones in the area of this panel, some with further rock art. The nearest is the Fontburn a(i), about 6m south-east, but others can be seen nearby.

Many depressions are across the whole uppermost surface - no marks are on the steeply sloping sides. However, the number of artificial motifs is unclear, with only three definite cup marks - all large and well-rounded, though only one possesses any depth, the other depressions drawn in outline are thought less definite, if indeed anything other than natural. The two pecked areas are only tentatively identified. The line of five cups is a possible example of leading edge weathering. The entire surface is pocked with depressions, those marked on the sketch were considered most likely to be artificial.

It is not possible to state for definite, one way or the other, that this purely is artificial or natural. The panel is in a valley side and immediately overlooks the confluence of a small stream, with the Fallowlees Burn to the south-east, and some of the valley floor to the south south-east and southwest, though the valley sides preclude distant views along the valley and outside of the valley's slopes. There are a few other stones in the area of this stone - some with further rock art. It is possible that this stone and the smaller others may have come from upslope - though sometime ago as this appears earthfast and alone.

The panel appears roughly triangular in plane and profile pyramidal. The two marks occupy the highest portion of the rock available which is of a slight inclination before sharply and in all directions shelving away from this. The panel is of a portable size and with others (Fontburn a(vi) and Fontburn a(viii)) is part of a cairn as recorded by previously. The stone is earthfast and appears to have been free of any covering materials. Indeed the shelving nature of the panel might have stopped any material from resting upon it. It has been argued, that it is a clearance cairn or wall associated with the nearby settlement of the enclosed later prehistoric traditions. The motifs have not been cut as if this were from outcrop.

The long cup may be two others joined together intentionally or by later erosion. Now located in a farm track way near to a field gate - it may have relocated there as infill.

Prior to the afforestation the area of Millstone Hill was covered by a cairnfield consisting of at least 85 small rounded cairns, roughly centred at NU 088 261. A triplet of conjoined kerbed cairns was excavated revealing cremations, some pottery and charcoal. The excavator (George Jobey) collected samples for radiocarbon dating - but this was not carried out, and wrote that the monument was of a common North British type, though dates and affinities of this type were somewhat varied. Two further cairns - thought of as clearance cairns - were also excavated, one covering a charcoal layer radiocarbon date calibrated to 2202-1975 BC. Jobey noted the construction of the cairns need not have immediately followed the burning clearance suggested by the charcoal, but noted other possible earlier burning clearance in the area. Prior to the planting of the trees further rock art panels (recorded in this project as Millstone Hill and Millstone Hill New 1, Rock Art Ids 1026 and 1031 respectively) were found in a furrow not far from Jobey's excavations (see the references for that panel). The area is named after a millstone quarry noted in a later regional review by Jobey (1986: site number 7)." 1369,3,Sandstone 1369,7,Sandstone 1369,5,Peck marks are present across the whole of the surface and clear of the cup marks. These are randomly placed across the whole rock. They are large and fine. 1369,1,"This is a rounded triangular piece of rock. It is a quite exceptional panel of rock art of importance for many reasons. This appears to have been shaped, possibly quarried with a scalloped edge, possibly to be part of a greater piece. The stone only bears cup marks on one face, but these are of some interest. Each cup mark has been pecked out, with many pecking marks of differing sizes. The peck marks in the cup marks predominate on one side of at least four of the cup marks. There are six definite cup marks - two of which are little more than peck marked, and a 'loose' arrangement roughly clustered in one corner. Typically the cup marks are 0.06 m diameter to 0.07 m diameter, with depths from under 0.01 m to 0.02 m deep. One cup mark is a half-circle with the beginnings of a conjoined second. It is like a figure eight of 0.095 m length by 0.04 m width maximum, to a waist of 0.03 m width. This an unfinished motif. The stone possesses generally flat, sharpish sides and is comparable to cist covers, from which it could have derived, or been used alone to cover a small cist. It is an exceptionally smooth and flat piece of stone free from any natural depressions, cracks or indeed marked bedding. The group of four cup marks is rather loose; and not as strictly defined as elsewhere. Attention is drawn to similar markings elsewhere within NADRAP. The panel was found in the ploughing for the Millstone Hill/Ros Castle woods." 1369,10,Edges may be burred in movement 1370,1,"It is reportedly situated between the Ox-Eye long mound and the Ox-Eye stone, but may have been hidden by deep heather (Spring 2006) or bracken (Summer 2006). This area was searched a number of times, and previous records note that both Ox-Eye rock art panels (also Ox-Eye 2, Rock Art ID 1038) are usually buried in deep heather. This panel was not located during NADRAP recording." 1370,2,"There are three reported rock art panels in this area; none were found, despite intensive searching. In all cases previous references note the motifs to be cup marks. Opinion is divided as to whether or not the Ox-Eye long mound is natural or is a long cairn/ barrow. Prior to the recent forestry a small cairnfield, unenclosed hut circle and later enclosure dyke were recorded in this area." 1370,7, 1371,2,"A number of rock art panels have been recorded relatively nearby along the length of the Fallowlees Burn. A number of other prehistoric monuments have also been recorded here, though detailed within the notes on those panels." 1371,7, 1371,1,"The panel was first recorded in the 1950s by an Ordnance Survey Field Investigator, though it was never depicted on the maps of the area. However, further investigation, whilst locating the stone, was more circumspect in claiming the ?motifs? as rock art and the stone as a panel. The development of Harwood Forest has obscured the recorded site of the panel, and also much of the surrounding area, which remains to this day. It was not possible, therefore, to locate the stone and identify anything of the claimed motif. The initial record is of seven small cups in a horseshoe pattern, though was later considered as doubtful in a later recording. It is impossible to be sure of the motifs and numbers recorded. Fieldwork carried out during NADARAP searched along the public footpaths present in the area, and the fringes of the plantations. Such work noted many stones in the area of the grid reference indicated by the HER entry, and, though examined, none were found to bear any rock art. Further the afforestation of the area is thought to have brought many such unmarked stones to the surface, but not of any disturbed construction of antiquity in the area." 1372,2,"Without a specific location or any recording notes it is impossible to say if there were any associated monuments or other finds with the panel. There are similarly, but unconnected with this panel, other Neolithic and Bronze Age finds that have been recorded as from near Rothbury and Coquetdale generally." 1372,7, 1372,1,"Unfortunately the context of this panel is unknown apart from the phrase ?From near Rothbury?, eventually working into the Greenwell Collections of The British Museum. It is possible that the panel may have come from Greenwell?s own excavations in the North Lordenshaw area, then called Burgh Hill, recorded in his own British Barrows of 1877. However, there are many other excavated cairns, not all excavated by Greenwell, in the area and Greenwell?s collections from which the panel may derive. The excavated locations include further rock art panels as outcrop and, occasionally, incorporated - though again unclear if recognised for any importance - rock art panels, which might all be classed as near Rothbury, for the previous Rothbury parish is noted as much larger than it now is. Single cup marks This panel, unfortunately unaccessible to NADRAP in holdings of The British Museum, has been recorded as similar to the panel known as Whitton Burn 1a (ERA 1209). This panel has single cup marks, of a variety of sizes, but it is unknown how many motifs are present ? if indeed the rock art motifs are confirmed as genuine." 1373,3,Sandstone 1373,1,"The upper surface of this boulder is randomly but comprehensively covered with cups including two which are very large and deep bowl-shaped ovals in comparison to others.

Almost all of the marking are shallow, barely pecked into the relatively soft surface sufficient only to impart the design. Peck marking across the whole surface infers the panel was 'flattened' in preparation for the motif. There are plough strike marks, long and straight, to both side of the panel, unusual for a cist cover in situ.

It is now held by Durham University and was not recorded during the course of the project." 1377,2,"There are no immediately associated sites or finds made near this panel. However, the surroundings look to have been generally improved or planted with a series of evergreen plantations, and the construction of the adjacent dam may have removed or destroyed any further, if present, rock art panels and prehistoric monuments. The area does not look like that it is generally ploughed, and so un-conducive to fieldwalking. A possible long cairn has been identified near the northern end of the reservoir, if so this is likely of Neolithic date. Also in the surrounding area a possible burnt mound has been recorded. This too might be thought contemporary with the putative rock art recorded." 1377,7, 1377,1,"This panel was found in recent survey work in the Weardale area. It is said to be a sandstone rock with a number of natural basins, which are thought to have been enhanced and the rock described as a possible rock art panel. This panel was not visited during NADRAP surveys." 1378,2,"This panel was found in the excavation of a later prehistoric settlement. The first phases of the settlement were of an unenclosed settlement of roundhouses, suggested to be of Late Bronze Age in date, and the panel was found in connection with these phases. This site later developed into an Iron Age enclosed settlement, with further roundhouses surrounded by a roughly rectangular ditch." 1378,7, 1378,1,"This panel was found in the 1960s excavations by G Jobey of a prehistoric settlement.

The notes are therefore the ones compiled at that visit and it may be that further work with the ground clear and the conditions more conducive to recording, that different details might be recorded. The panel appears by the side of a gateway through fieldwall, and it is uncertain if the panel might have been moved here for field clearance or walling work. It lies flush with the ground which suggests some antiquity in it's positioning - though this may still relate to the construction of the wall. There is little other stone visible in the field. The stone is situated behind the fieldwall, but a little further than the immediate shelter and tumble of other wall stones. There are views to all the Langleydale Common sites which lie on the south side of the stream, on higher ground to the south. The general areas of the rock art panels can be made out - however, the individual panels cannot be made out. The panel is a roughly triangular shape with the cup mark found off-centre. About a third of the panel is turf-covered. It is about some 300m to the next nearest 'rock art panel'. One single cup mark, apparently slightly off centre placed in the rock exposed and clear of snow when recording work took place. The cup mark is rough edges and not smooth.

Interestingly, there is a Stob Hill about 200m NW of the Warrior Stone in Ingoe village. Old OS maps show the stone in its present location at least since the 1860s. Camden's Brittannia, 2nd Ed. (1722) states that ""W. Matfen is the seat of sir William Blacket, bart. And in an adjoining field is a circular mount with a cavity at top, and by it a stone nine feet high, three feet by one and a half thick, called the Stob stone.""

The groove does not appear to link with the largest cup marks. The three largest shallow cups thought to have been eroded by water pooling. The separated cup marks are smaller and closer to the outcrop edge. There is a noticeable difference in rock composition across the panel due to a series of fine and coarse grain beds.

Several areas are made of large grain quartz, where this occurs circular, naturally weathered bowls revealing bedding planes can be seen. All of the cup-like depressions are extremely friable with several exhibiting quartz pebbles protruding from the bottom. Due to the friability of the rock and weathering it would be difficult to say that any features are definitely carved.

Most other carvings in the Baldersdale area are relatively simple in design, with this particular carving being one of the more intricate. Its position, approx 65 m north-west of a spring (Molly Well) is also worthy of note. Motifs consist of a countersunk cup and ring on the south-west corner, a wide groove leads out north-west of this motif to a larger cup and ring in a central position, the groove continues through this central motif to another countersunk cup and ring, which incorporates two cups in the ring. At this junction, a further groove runs at right angles across the stone to the north and south edges. Two shorter grooves branch out of the large grooves to cups, one of which turns back into the larger central cup and ring. Towards the west end is a faint sub rectangular groove enclosing a faint small cup in its southern corner, the shallow depth of these particular motifs may suggest them being added at different times. On the north-east corner is a single cup and ring on a lower layer, and south of that, a cup is connected to a penannular via a short groove. Other motifs include twelve single cups, a cup and ring with a short groove, a short linear groove and two cups linked via a short groove. Tooling marks are evident in most motifs, along with other areas of random pecking. However, the stones coarse grain has resulted in a certain degree of pitting, so some ?pecks? and possibly smaller cups may well be weathered pitting.

Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic. The most important feature of this site is the distribution of marked cobbles. Not only did they form part of the mound, but four kerbstones were cup marked and have been left buried in situ. The rest have been removed to the Museum of Antiquities except for Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn n, which is at Berwick Museum, and Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn r , which could not be relocated during the project. The decoration on the removed cobbles varies from simple cups to a complex cup-penannular-radiate design. This complex design was on a cobble found south of the projected south edge of the outer kerb ? unless the mound was longer along its north-south axis, which we don?t know because there was only a light scatter of stone there and more possibility that the outcrop had been cleared of any covering stone. For anyone trying to peck a cup into a cobble, the danger is that the rock will split with the force of the blow. It takes skill." 1802,10016,The name Fowberry means the fortification of the foal. 1803,10006,It has two sets of cups and an interesting scatter of pick marks around them. 1803,10011,This portable came from the Lilburn area. 1803,10021,"This panel might not be on display, in which case prior arrangements will have to be made with the museum to view it." 1803,1,"Dark weathered sandstone triangular cobble.

The ""top"" and ""bottom"" are flatter than the side faces. On the flattest surface there are four distinct clearly worked cups with general dimensions: - 0.08 m by 0.075 m and 0.03 m - 0.04 m deep. Between these, in a fairly symmetrical pattern, there are worked areas forming shallow depressions. General dimensions 0.03 m by 0.03 m and 0.01 m deep at maximum. This face is less dramatic than the opposite one. The surface is not as smooth/flat and the cups are less well-formed (especially the smaller one). The larger cup is 0.07 m by 0.06 m by 0.02 m deep. he smaller cup is 0.04 m by 0.035 m by 0.005 m deep. Plough marks are visible on this surface and on the sides of the stone. Is this the same date of working as the above? Or earlier, possible?

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 1805,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 1805,2,"For the history of Weetwood Cairn excavation see Beckensall Archive notes.

This sandstone flag contains some small ironstone nodules. It has probably been smoothed in ice, the lower surface is quite planar and both faces have some (possibly) glacial striae. The worked areas are quite distinct and distinctive in the otherwise smooth surface of the stone. The 'cup' is really a pecked circular area, at maximum 0.005 m below the top surface of the stone. It is about 0.045 m by 0.045 m and the pecked area is quite clear and fairly central to the face. Near one edge of the face is a groove of similar depth and also clearly pecked.

Shallow pecked 1808,10006,A single cup. 1808,10011,"By chance, I (Stan Beckensall) was living nearby when the land around the Weetwood sites was bulldozed and cleared of heather and stone, ready for grass planting. I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 1808,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 1809,10006,A single cup. 1809,10011,"By chance, I (Stan Beckensall) was living nearby when the land around the Weetwood sites was bulldozed and cleared of heather and stone, ready for grass planting.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers.

It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound.

This area is a low Fell Sandstone Group block that rises from east to west. Rock art panels are found along a slightly elevated ridge, rising generally with the trend, but with slight slopes to the north and south. Much bedrock is exposed on the ridge top, with low natural and, where quarried, higher crags along the flanks. The area is mainly rough grazing and moorland, bounded by stonewalls and fences, separated from improved and cleared grasslands for stock and gamebird plantations. Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views. The Cheviot and Fell Sandstone Hills distantly ring the site to the west, north and east with other rock art areas visible, such as Doddington Moor/Dod Law, Gled Law, Buttony and Horton areas, as well as the main Fell Sandstone Group arc. The more elevated portions of this area overlook the Milfield Basin and River Till lowland areas. There are no later prehistoric monuments in the immediate area, though a series of settlements is known nearby. Post Medieval activity has, however, taken place. Much evidence of quarrying is present with many ?steps?, and sheer and sharp edges of remaining rock at the east of the ridge. A stonewalled enclosure has been recorded in the western part of the area, continuing into the adjacent plantation. These constructions, together with the adjacent stonewalls, and clearance of the lower slopes and surrounding fields, may have destrroyed other prehistoric monuments and rock art panels.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them.

Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views. The Cheviot and Fell Sandstone Hills distantly ring the site to the west, north and east with other rock art areas visible, such as Doddington Moor/Dod Law, Gled Law, Buttony and Horton areas, as well as the main Fell Sandstone Group arc. The more elevated portions of this area overlook the Milfield Basin and River Till lowland areas. There are no later prehistoric monuments in the immediate area, though a series of settlements is known nearby. Post Medieval activity has, however, taken place. Much evidence of quarrying is present with many ?steps?, and sheer and sharp edges of remaining rock at the east of the ridge. A stonewalled enclosure has been recorded in the western part of the area, continuing into the adjacent plantation. These constructions, together with the adjacent stonewalls, and clearance of the lower slopes and surrounding fields, may have destrroyed other prehistoric monuments and rock art panels.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 1824,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 1825,10006,A single cup. 1825,10011,"By chance, I (Stan Beckensall) was living nearby when the land around the Weetwood sites was bulldozed and cleared of heather and stone, ready for grass planting.

An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 1828,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 1828,2,"For the history of Weetwood Cairn excavation see Beckensall Archive notes.

Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound.

It is largely flat, ending with steep western and southern slopes down to the Till. It is based on a low Fell Sandstone Group terrace, which occasionally outcrops in the western slopes. There are craggy portions across the area with steep, localized, slopes. Slopes to the east are generally gentler, extending eastwards to Buttony. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, and over and along the Till valley. This includes some rock art areas, such as the north of Weetwood Moor and the main Chatton Park-Old Bewick ridge. The crags and rising ground of Doddington Moor/Dod Law prevent an all-round view of distant areas. The gentle slopes have allowed Post Medieval ploughing of the ground to be undertaken with disturbance and destruction of archaeological monuments. A few monuments contemporary with the rock art panels of the Neolithic/Early Bronze Age have been recorded. These include Cuddie?s Cave rock shelter on the western flanks of Gled Law from which rock art has been recorded, as well as barrows and cairns with grave goods and others which are possibly related to agricultural clearance. These were discovered in the 19th century, as ploughing started on the flatter portions of the area. The steep slopes have escaped the ploughing and a number of monuments have been recorded.

At Chatton Sandyfords there were five cups on a barrow stone; the barrow had three beaker inhumations and two cremations, one with an enlarged food vessel. The earliest beaker was dated to 1670 +/- BC and the second was close to this date. The third was inserted later, perhaps 1500BC. The cup marked sandstone was local, with five cups pecked on one face, and a small one broken through. It was found in a disturbed area and could have been associated with a cremation contained in an inverted enlarged food vessel that had been shattered by the disturbance. Adjacent to the cremation was a large limestone column with natural pitting that could have been a marker of some kind.

A groove from the bottom of the curved triangular groove runs down the rock, turns at right angles and meets a parallel groove from an oval that contains a cup at each end. There are smaller cups. Where the two parallel grooves of the two enclosures meet, the line continues and branches out to a small cup at either side. There is a strong design element in this, governed by the shape of the rock (which may have been deliberately shaped for this purpose or have been found like that naturally).

It is more likely that it was discarded into the burn in more recent times. The elliptic shape of the item does suggest it having been subject to considerable water flow and abrasion for a lengthy period. Yet the condition of the under-side, apparently un-worn, the clarity of the tool marks in the cup and the clean fracture and surface of the missing portion would suggest it having lain on that side for a very long time in open conditions. On it's removal from the burn it was obvious to me that there was an absence of lichen deposits on it's upper surface suggesting it had been submersed for some considerable time, however, since it has been exposed there does appear to be an indication of it re-appearing. It is remarkable fact however that when the stone is immersed , or wetted, it does appear to take on a very life-like appearance as if it was intended to be so to the viewer.'" 1854,10019,Find spot: NU129 023 1854,10021,"This panel might not be on display, in which case prior arrangements will have to be made with the museum to view it." 1854,1,"Cup marks on both faces with diameters: 0.04 m, 0.05 m and 0.03 m.

The pecking is clear and the grooves are very shallow and not smoothed out at all. In places, the rings are not very distinct - a less worked area, or flattish ridge breaks them at one point.

Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic.

He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock.

It is largely flat, ending with steep western and southern slopes down to the Till. It is based on a low Fell Sandstone Group terrace, which occasionally outcrops in the western slopes. There are craggy portions across the area with steep, localized, slopes. Slopes to the east are generally gentler, extending eastwards to Buttony. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, and over and along the Till valley. This includes some rock art areas, such as the north of Weetwood Moor and the main Chatton Park-Old Bewick ridge. The crags and rising ground of Doddington Moor/Dod Law prevent an all-round view of distant areas. The gentle slopes have allowed Post Medieval ploughing of the ground to be undertaken with disturbance and destruction of archaeological monuments. A few monuments contemporary with the rock art panels of the Neolithic/Early Bronze Age have been recorded. These include Cuddie?s Cave rock shelter on the western flanks of Gled Law from which rock art has been recorded, as well as barrows and cairns with grave goods and others which are possibly related to agricultural clearance. These were discovered in the 19th century, as ploughing started on the flatter portions of the area. The steep slopes have escaped the ploughing and a number of monuments have been recorded. These enclosures and settlements are thought to date from the Bronze Age onwards, or the later prehistoric periods, remaining as earthworks.

Following a visit to Hunterheugh 1 after the excavation, Stan Beckensall prepared a short report on his observations. This report is presented below. PREHISTORIC ROCK ART AT HUNTERHEUGH CRAGS Stan Beckensall (April 2004) 1. Background exploration. The first reference to rock markings at Hunterheugh is in the Northumberland County History, which says, ?There are indications of plain cups on the wide expanse of rocks near the top of the hill, but in the absence of rings or ducts there remains an element of doubt about them.? No precise location was given, and as the outcrop is extensive, this could refer to the excavated site or to an outcrop with cup marks to the NW by the public footpath to Eglingham. Tim Gates? discovery during the survey for a gas pipeline survey of decorated rock among cairns to the north of the excavated site was unpublished. Paul Frodsham showed me a slide of this site, which led to my investigation, recording and publication of rock art on that northern hill site. Another site that I discovered has now been excavated. Only those parts protruding from stone and vegetation were drawn: the rest was left for excavation. My recording (Beckensall, 1995) included the Gates? discovery. New discoveries by the public footpath to the NW appeared in Beckensall (2001), but the whole rocks were not drawn ? only those parts with motifs. This followed some very significant discoveries on Beanley Moor to the north that have been recorded for the Archive. The potential of the Hunterheugh 1 site for significant new information lay in its being decorated outcrop on which a cairn was built. This links it with sites such as Lordenshaw, Fowberry, The Ringses and Dod Law, where the same phenomenon occurs (Beckensall 2001). The relationship between decorated outcrop and a cairn is best seen at Fowberry, where a double kerbed cairn with cup-marked kerbs and more elaborate cup and ring marked cobbles was excavated on top of a long decorated outcrop. There was no sign of a burial there, and the only diagnostic find was a flint scraper sealed under the edge of the cairn stones. Hunterheugh 1 provided an opportunity for more information on the relationship between cairns and outcrop. There have been many marked stones found in cairnfields recently, some embedded in cairn structures, throughout Northumberland. 2. The making of motifs Much of the decorated rock surfaces had been recorded before the excavation, but new panels and motifs emerged. There are two distinct features: motifs that appear faint and warn by weathering, and pristine motifs that show clearly how they were made, with tool marks visible. Such features appear at all rock art sites. The ?faintness? of a motif may be the result of erosion; ridges and grooves become smoothed by water action as a result of long exposure. For how long, we do not know. The other reason is that the motifs were pecked on only lightly ? tentative, unfinished sometimes. The most important example in Northumberland of both erosion and fresh pecking is at North Plantation, Fowberry, where decorated outcrop incorporated into an Iron Age (?) enclosure has had a slab of its surface removed and a freshly-pecked motif made on the exposed base (Beckensall 2001). It has been suggested that such a removed slab might have been used as a cist slab or as a kerb. ?Fresh? motifs exhibit all the stages of their making; it is possible to deduce what kinds of tools were used. At Hunterheugh 1, as well as at other sites, the tool appears to be either a punch like a blunt nail or a wider chisel-shaped edge. In some cases both types have been used on the same motif, or by one tool that could do both. As these presumably belong to a pre-metal age, we assume the tool to be made of a rock harder than the Fell Sandstone sheets of outcrop, such as whinstone, and to have been impacted with a mallet or used as a hand tool with a pad to protect the palm. There have been recent experiments to produce such effects. What is strange is that no tool has been found on a site, with the possible exception of Dod Law (Beckensall 2001), although this has an uncertain context. Motifs were not added to the rock without consideration of the form of the rock itself, and often the natural configuration would determine the arrangements of the motifs. The most satisfying designs (to the modern eye) are those that use to the full the surface irregularities and slopes. Slope is particularly important, as grooves running from cups follow the rock downwards, and the spacing of motifs may take into account the natural divisions formed by cracks. At Hunterheugh 1 there are two kinds of surface: a fairly continuous smooth, sloping area with few natural irregularities, and rather lumpy surfaces. There are also hollows used to counter-sink motifs 3. Description of the motifs The most complex motifs are those to the east on a step in the rock, and they face east. No new ones other than cups and a cup and ring were found further east, and they were on a step down, part of the same section of outcrop. The cairn lay on the continuation of the north complex motif, and there were a few other minor cups and cups and rings to the immediate west. All these motifs are ?fresh?. The two major motifs are distinctly different, although clearly arranged in the same direction, facing east in a slight flat hollow that today drains rain water from them. The southerly design has clear chisel-like and punched tool marks. At the centre is a cup towards which a radial groove runs but does not reach beyond the inner ring. The cup is the centre of two penannulars which are looped at their ends. A very thin groove from the cup reaches a bar running from one end of the inner penannular to the other, preventing the opening to the cup from being a complete ?keyhole? construction. The inner groove on the right runs further down the rock, and opposite to it some tooling has been placed to allow water to drain out of the motifs, left. An extra concentric outer arc was not meant to continue around the whole figure; it stops at a crudely-cut basin in which the chisel tool marks have cut into layered sedimentary rock. Outside this, left, are two cups, and above is a group of three. On the slightly raised rock to the west are three linked cups in a row and a pecked cup and ring, The northern motif, although sharing some of these characteristics, is different. In the former, the tool marks are much more definite and heavy; here, although the serpentine grooves are a feature, they are made with a very fine pick, becoming fainter towards the north. A recessed cup and another cup form an asymmetric centre to a looped groove that encloses them, twisting to echo the linked penannulars of the first figure, but continuing fainter to loop around in a bisected circle with a faint cup. The two motifs share sufficient characteristics to make it possible to assume that they were made at the same time, despite the contrast in picking techniques, and are aligned together. The north one has a made hollow in the same direction as the one to the south. On a slight rise there is a pristine pecked cup and ring and a cup. At a lower level on a step are two cups and a cup and ring. The motifs are unusual and special even in a county that surprises by the variations that prehistoric people managed to get out of simple symbolism, but lie outside the cairn. Further west on another level of rock is a deeply hacked motif discovered by excavation. It is a deep cup connected by an angular grove of the same depth to a cup with a thin ring around it. Its depth makes it stand out, on a north-south alignment, following the shape of the rock. Also to the east on the north side is a roughly rectangular block that has much fainter, eroded cup and single ring motifs, those at the eastern edge in a line. Other small cup and single ring motifs appear on the same rock. These too were discovered by excavation. Why they should be fainter than the more complex motifs may be accounted for by their being on the outside of the cairn, and thus exposed. Immediately west is a triangular shaped outcrop sandwiched between the cracks formed by lines of bedding, on which is a heavily-pecked cup and rings and a cup. There is some iron in the rock here, and the cutting of the motifs must have called for more strength and persistence. As all the pick marks are clear, it is possible that this part of the rock was covered over early in its history. At the centre of the site is an already-recorded group of faint simple cup marks, with a deeper ?new? cup on its north edge. The remaining decorated surfaces lie to the west. Most of these are recorded as rock 1a, b, and c. To the south a new series of motifs was excavated, all at a lower level than the others. In a long naturally sunken recess a cup surrounded by a pecked circle is the beginning of a heavily pecked, long groove like a stretched triangle. On either side the cup has two motifs of the cup and ring type, and other cups already drawn. North of this, in the same alignment, is a panel of cups and linked cups already recorded (as 1b). A strong feature of this is the way the cups are clustered at the top of the rock, then linked like a necklace, running down the slope to link up with a cup and two concentric rings and a cup with a faint ring that is unfinished as an arc of small cups marks where the groove was planned to be. The last area of rock to the north-west has been recorded at the top as 1e, with a packed cluster of cups. The newly exposed section on the slope to the north has cup and ring mark designs, some with grooves from the central cup, and all faint. The largest has a cup and two concentric rings. 4. Conclusion The excavation has produced only a few additional cups and cup and ring marks, but this has completed the total picture of what is on the rock surfaces. My report, submitted with detailed drawings and photographs, has drawn attention to the fact that it is not possible to make any observations about chronology from the evidence of pristine and worn motifs, as erosion is bound to affect exposed rocks. It is up to the excavators to relate any other finds to a possible sequence of events. I am not confident from what I have seen at the site that this is going to be possible. Even the most preserved motifs are those not actually covered by the cairn, and their preservation will have to be accounted for by natural covering of, for example, wind-blown soil and vegetation. Evidence of quarrying on the total mass of rock is ambiguous. Questions that I would ask are: what tools were available in Neolithic or early Bronze Age times (the possible age of the rock markings) to split rocks along their seams? The whole area has been re-used by generations after the rock art was put there, for there is a high concentration of enclosures for stock and for settlement, including a field wall that uses the outcrop and cairn as a guide. The excavation is only a glimpse. More work will have to be done, for example on the cairns and rock art on the hill to the north and on the enclosures themselves to find some answers. Drawing of enclosure marked rock It is significant that the rock art extends into the Iron Age (?) enclosures themselves: a group of domino cups, similar to those on Chatton Park Hill and Dod Law have now been recorded among grooves that are partly natural and partly artificial enclosures. A considerable amount of stone has been quarried from the wider area to build stockades/enclosures, and one wonders whether the excavated rock may have provided some. Our archive for rock art includes panels further to the east and to the north west. It now includes a panel on the outcrop edge of one enclosure to the west. It is possible that any future excavation that concentrates on the enclosures will find rock art that has been taken from elsewhere and used as building material or has been deliberately incorporated because it was recognised as a significant part of the past." 1878,10021,"This panel might not be on display, in which case prior arrangements will have to be made with the museum to view it." 1878,2,"The panel was found within the Hunterheugh plateau of largely flat-topped moorland. The edges of the plateau (extending northwards to be called Beanley Moor), are mainly steep slopes, with a series of crags of the Fell Sandstone Group. The western flank of the plateau is a long gentle slope to the height of the terrace. The plateau and most of the sloping ground is heather moor. The site affords wide views. The opposing and adjacent Midstead plateau and other more distant Fell Sandstone Group are seen as terraces and crags on the horizon to the south and west; also visible are the Callaly/Thrunton Crags and Titlington Mount areas, over the Titlington Burn and adjacent lower land. This lower land is maintained as improved grassland retained as pasture and evergreen plantations. Views into the plateau are limited by the flat-topped surface and small, localised crags. A variety of archaeological remains have been recorded near the panels and plateau more generally, some of which may be contemporary with the rock carvings. No Mesolithic finds have been recorded around the crags. Nearby burnt mounds have been excavated by the Northumberland Archaeological Group and radiocarbon dated to the Neolithic/Earlier Bronze Age. Other Bronze Age funerary and agricultural clearance monuments are also recorded in the area. A large enclosed settlement of the Romano-British period lies at a western, craggy, edge of the main plateau and panels have also been recorded here. There are no Medieval or later remains present on this part of the plateau, and this may be an archaeological unspoilt rock art area." 1878,3,Sandstone 1878,7,Sandstone 1878,1,"This trapezoid slab has peck marks on both sides. The most worked side has an unusual area of pecking covering approximately a third of the surface. The marks are like very small cups, about 0.005 m across, with a few pick marks in them - but no real pattern is discernible. The marked area extends from a very straight (trimmed or broken?) edge of the stone across an area of 0.12 m by 0.15 m. The rock is of very uniform thickness because it is composed of the material between two bedding planes." 1879,10006,Side 1 has a single cup with the peck marks still visible and side 2 has a random scatter of peck marks. 1879,10011,"Hunterheugh 1 was excavated by Clive Waddington together with Aron Mazel and Ben Johnson in March and April 2004. Clive Waddington has published a [http://rockart.ncl.ac.uk/interactive/documents/outreach/Hunterheugh_BAarticle.pdf,short report] on the excavation in British Archaeology (2004, vol 78), and together with Aron Mazel and Ben Johnson (2005, in press) has prepared a detailed report on the excavation that will be published in Archaeologia Aeliana. Following a visit to Hunterheugh 1 after the excavation, Stan Beckensall prepared a short report on his observations. This report is presented below. PREHISTORIC ROCK ART AT HUNTERHEUGH CRAGS Stan Beckensall (April 2004) 1. Background exploration. The first reference to rock markings at Hunterheugh is in the Northumberland County History, which says, ?There are indications of plain cups on the wide expanse of rocks near the top of the hill, but in the absence of rings or ducts there remains an element of doubt about them.? No precise location was given, and as the outcrop is extensive, this could refer to the excavated site or to an outcrop with cup marks to the NW by the public footpath to Eglingham. Tim Gates? discovery during the survey for a gas pipeline survey of decorated rock among cairns to the north of the excavated site was unpublished. Paul Frodsham showed me a slide of this site, which led to my investigation, recording and publication of rock art on that northern hill site. Another site that I discovered has now been excavated. Only those parts protruding from stone and vegetation were drawn: the rest was left for excavation. My recording (Beckensall, 1995) included the Gates? discovery. New discoveries by the public footpath to the NW appeared in Beckensall (2001), but the whole rocks were not drawn ? only those parts with motifs.

This links it with sites such as Lordenshaw, Fowberry, The Ringses and Dod Law, where the same phenomenon occurs (Beckensall 2001). The relationship between decorated outcrop and a cairn is best seen at Fowberry, where a double kerbed cairn with cup-marked kerbs and more elaborate cup and ring marked cobbles was excavated on top of a long decorated outcrop. There was no sign of a burial there, and the only diagnostic find was a flint scraper sealed under the edge of the cairn stones. Hunterheugh 1 provided an opportunity for more information on the relationship between cairns and outcrop.

Further west on another level of rock is a deeply hacked motif discovered by excavation. It is a deep cup connected by an angular grove of the same depth to a cup with a thin ring around it. Its depth makes it stand out, on a north-south alignment, following the shape of the rock. Also to the east on the north side is a roughly rectangular block that has much fainter, eroded cup and single ring motifs, those at the eastern edge in a line. Other small cup and single ring motifs appear on the same rock. These too were discovered by excavation. Why they should be fainter than the more complex motifs may be accounted for by their being on the outside of the cairn, and thus exposed. Immediately west is a triangular shaped outcrop sandwiched between the cracks formed by lines of bedding, on which is a heavily-pecked cup and rings and a cup. There is some iron in the rock here, and the cutting of the motifs must have called for more strength and persistence. As all the pick marks are clear, it is possible that this part of the rock was covered over early in its history. At the centre of the site is an already-recorded group of faint simple cup marks, with a deeper ?new? cup on its north edge. The remaining decorated surfaces lie to the west. Most of these are recorded as rock 1a, b, and c. To the south a new series of motifs was excavated, all at a lower level than the others. In a long naturally sunken recess a cup surrounded by a pecked circle is the beginning of a heavily pecked, long groove like a stretched triangle. On either side the cup has two motifs of the cup and ring type, and other cups already drawn. North of this, in the same alignment, is a panel of cups and linked cups already recorded (as 1b). A strong feature of this is the way the cups are clustered at the top of the rock, then linked like a necklace, running down the slope to link up with a cup and two concentric rings and a cup with a faint ring that is unfinished as an arc of small cups marks where the groove was planned to be. The last area of rock to the north-west has been recorded at the top as 1e, with a packed cluster of cups. The newly exposed section on the slope to the north has cup and ring mark designs, some with grooves from the central cup, and all faint. The largest has a cup and two concentric rings. 4.

The two major motifs are distinctly different, although clearly arranged in the same direction, facing east in a slight flat hollow that today drains rain water from them. The southerly design has clear chisel-like and punched tool marks. At the centre is a cup towards which a radial groove runs but does not reach beyond the inner ring. The cup is the centre of two penannulars which are looped at their ends. A very thin groove from the cup reaches a bar running from one end of the inner penannular to the other, preventing the opening to the cup from being a complete ?keyhole? construction. The inner groove on the right runs further down the rock, and opposite to it some tooling has been placed to allow water to drain out of the motifs, left. An extra concentric outer arc was not meant to continue around the whole figure; it stops at a crudely-cut basin in which the chisel tool marks have cut into layered sedimentary rock. Outside this, left, are two cups, and above is a group of three. On the slightly raised rock to the west are three linked cups in a row and a pecked cup and ring, The northern motif, although sharing some of these characteristics, is different. In the former, the tool marks are much more definite and heavy; here, although the serpentine grooves are a feature, they are made with a very fine pick, becoming fainter towards the north. A recessed cup and another cup form an asymmetric centre to a looped groove that encloses them, twisting to echo the linked penannulars of the first figure, but continuing fainter to loop around in a bisected circle with a faint cup. The two motifs share sufficient characteristics to make it possible to assume that they were made at the same time, despite the contrast in picking techniques, and are aligned together. The north one has a made hollow in the same direction as the one to the south. On a slight rise there is a pristine pecked cup and ring and a cup. At a lower level on a step are two cups and a cup and ring. The motifs are unusual and special even in a county that surprises by the variations that prehistoric people managed to get out of simple symbolism, but lie outside the cairn. Further west on another level of rock is a deeply hacked motif discovered by excavation. It is a deep cup connected by an angular grove of the same depth to a cup with a thin ring around it. Its depth makes it stand out, on a north-south alignment, following the shape of the rock. Also to the east on the north side is a roughly rectangular block that has much fainter, eroded cup and single ring motifs, those at the eastern edge in a line. Other small cup and single ring motifs appear on the same rock. These too were discovered by excavation. Why they should be fainter than the more complex motifs may be accounted for by their being on the outside of the cairn, and thus exposed. Immediately west is a triangular shaped outcrop sandwiched between the cracks formed by lines of bedding, on which is a heavily-pecked cup and rings and a cup. There is some iron in the rock here, and the cutting of the motifs must have called for more strength and persistence. As all the pick marks are clear, it is possible that this part of the rock was covered over early in its history. At the centre of the site is an already-recorded group of faint simple cup marks, with a deeper ?new? cup on its north edge. The remaining decorated surfaces lie to the west. Most of these are recorded as rock 1a, b, and c. To the south a new series of motifs was excavated, all at a lower level than the others. In a long naturally sunken recess a cup surrounded by a pecked circle is the beginning of a heavily pecked, long groove like a stretched triangle. On either side the cup has two motifs of the cup and ring type, and other cups already drawn. North of this, in the same alignment, is a panel of cups and linked cups already recorded (as 1b). A strong feature of this is the way the cups are clustered at the top of the rock, then linked like a necklace, running down the slope to link up with a cup and two concentric rings and a cup with a faint ring that is unfinished as an arc of small cups marks where the groove was planned to be. The last area of rock to the north-west has been recorded at the top as 1e, with a packed cluster of cups. The newly exposed section on the slope to the north has cup and ring mark designs, some with grooves from the central cup, and all faint. The largest has a cup and two concentric rings. 4. Conclusion The excavation has produced only a few additional cups and cup and ring marks, but this has completed the total picture of what is on the rock surfaces. My report, submitted with detailed drawings and photographs, has drawn attention to the fact that it is not possible to make any observations about chronology from the evidence of pristine and worn motifs, as erosion is bound to affect exposed rocks. It is up to the excavators to relate any other finds to a possible sequence of events. I am not confident from what I have seen at the site that this is going to be possible. Even the most preserved motifs are those not actually covered by the cairn, and their preservation will have to be accounted for by natural covering of, for example, wind-blown soil and vegetation. Evidence of quarrying on the total mass of rock is ambiguous. Questions that I would ask are: what tools were available in Neolithic or early Bronze Age times (the possible age of the rock markings) to split rocks along their seams? The whole area has been re-used by generations after the rock art was put there, for there is a high concentration of enclosures for stock and for settlement, including a field wall that uses the outcrop and cairn as a guide. The excavation is only a glimpse. More work will have to be done, for example on the cairns and rock art on the hill to the north and on the enclosures themselves to find some answers. Drawing of enclosure marked rock It is significant that the rock art extends into the Iron Age (?) enclosures themselves: a group of domino cups, similar to those on Chatton Park Hill and Dod Law have now been recorded among grooves that are partly natural and partly artificial enclosures. A considerable amount of stone has been quarried from the wider area to build stockades/enclosures, and one wonders whether the excavated rock may have provided some. Our archive for rock art includes panels further to the east and to the north west. It now includes a panel on the outcrop edge of one enclosure to the west. It is possible that any future excavation that concentrates on the enclosures will find rock art that has been taken from elsewhere and used as building material or has been deliberately incorporated because it was recognised as a significant part of the past." 1880,10021,"This panel might not be on display, in which case prior arrangements will have to be made with the museum to view it." 1881,10006,There is a single groove on one side with the peck marks still visible measuring 0.11m by 0.025m. 1881,10011,"The rock was discovered in the cairn material with the groove facing inwards. Hunterheugh 1 was excavated by Clive Waddington together with Aron Mazel and Ben Johnson in March and April 2004. Clive Waddington has published a [http://rockart.ncl.ac.uk/interactive/documents/outreach/Hunterheugh_BAarticle.pdf,short report] on the excavation in British Archaeology (2004, vol 78), and together with Aron Mazel and Ben Johnson (2005, in press) has prepared a detailed report on the excavation that will be published in Archaeologia Aeliana. Following a visit to Hunterheugh 1 after the excavation, Stan Beckensall prepared a short report on his observations. This report is presented below. PREHISTORIC ROCK ART AT HUNTERHEUGH CRAGS Stan Beckensall (April 2004) 1. Background exploration. The first reference to rock markings at Hunterheugh is in the Northumberland County History, which says, ?There are indications of plain cups on the wide expanse of rocks near the top of the hill, but in the absence of rings or ducts there remains an element of doubt about them.? No precise location was given, and as the outcrop is extensive, this could refer to the excavated site or to an outcrop with cup marks to the NW by the public footpath to Eglingham. Tim Gates? discovery during the survey for a gas pipeline survey of decorated rock among cairns to the north of the excavated site was unpublished. Paul Frodsham showed me a slide of this site, which led to my investigation, recording and publication of rock art on that northern hill site. Another site that I discovered has now been excavated. Only those parts protruding from stone and vegetation were drawn: the rest was left for excavation. My recording (Beckensall, 1995) included the Gates? discovery. New discoveries by the public footpath to the NW appeared in Beckensall (2001), but the whole rocks were not drawn ? only those parts with motifs. This followed some very significant discoveries on Beanley Moor to the north that have been recorded for the Archive. The potential of the Hunterheugh 1 site for significant new information lay in its being decorated outcrop on which a cairn was built. This links it with sites such as Lordenshaw, Fowberry, The Ringses and Dod Law, where the same phenomenon occurs (Beckensall 2001). The relationship between decorated outcrop and a cairn is best seen at Fowberry, where a double kerbed cairn with cup-marked kerbs and more elaborate cup and ring marked cobbles was excavated on top of a long decorated outcrop. There was no sign of a burial there, and the only diagnostic find was a flint scraper sealed under the edge of the cairn stones. Hunterheugh 1 provided an opportunity for more information on the relationship between cairns and outcrop. There have been many marked stones found in cairnfields recently, some embedded in cairn structures, throughout Northumberland. 2. The making of motifs Much of the decorated rock surfaces had been recorded before the excavation, but new panels and motifs emerged. There are two distinct features: motifs that appear faint and warn by weathering, and pristine motifs that show clearly how they were made, with tool marks visible. Such features appear at all rock art sites. The ?faintness? of a motif may be the result of erosion; ridges and grooves become smoothed by water action as a result of long exposure. For how long, we do not know. The other reason is that the motifs were pecked on only lightly ? tentative, unfinished sometimes. The most important example in Northumberland of both erosion and fresh pecking is at North Plantation, Fowberry, where decorated outcrop incorporated into an Iron Age (?) enclosure has had a slab of its surface removed and a freshly-pecked motif made on the exposed base (Beckensall 2001). It has been suggested that such a removed slab might have been used as a cist slab or as a kerb. ?Fresh? motifs exhibit all the stages of their making; it is possible to deduce what kinds of tools were used. At Hunterheugh 1, as well as at other sites, the tool appears to be either a punch like a blunt nail or a wider chisel-shaped edge. In some cases both types have been used on the same motif, or by one tool that could do both. As these presumably belong to a pre-metal age, we assume the tool to be made of a rock harder than the Fell Sandstone sheets of outcrop, such as whinstone, and to have been impacted with a mallet or used as a hand tool with a pad to protect the palm. There have been recent experiments to produce such effects. What is strange is that no tool has been found on a site, with the possible exception of Dod Law (Beckensall 2001), although this has an uncertain context. Motifs were not added to the rock without consideration of the form of the rock itself, and often the natural configuration would determine the arrangements of the motifs. The most satisfying designs (to the modern eye) are those that use to the full the surface irregularities and slopes. Slope is particularly important, as grooves running from cups follow the rock downwards, and the spacing of motifs may take into account the natural divisions formed by cracks. At Hunterheugh 1 there are two kinds of surface: a fairly continuous smooth, sloping area with few natural irregularities, and rather lumpy surfaces. There are also hollows used to counter-sink motifs 3. Description of the motifs The most complex motifs are those to the east on a step in the rock, and they face east. No new ones other than cups and a cup and ring were found further east, and they were on a step down, part of the same section of outcrop. The cairn lay on the continuation of the north complex motif, and there were a few other minor cups and cups and rings to the immediate west. All these motifs are ?fresh?.

The edges of the plateau (extending northwards to be called Beanley Moor), are mainly steep slopes, with a series of crags of the Fell Sandstone Group. The western flank of the plateau is a long gentle slope to the height of the terrace. The plateau and most of the sloping ground is heather moor. The site affords wide views. The opposing and adjacent Midstead plateau and other more distant Fell Sandstone Group are seen as terraces and crags on the horizon to the south and west; also visible are the Callaly/Thrunton Crags and Titlington Mount areas, over the Titlington Burn and adjacent lower land. This lower land is maintained as improved grassland retained as pasture and evergreen plantations. Views into the plateau are limited by the flat-topped surface and small, localised crags. A variety of archaeological remains have been recorded near the panels and plateau more generally, some of which may be contemporary with the rock carvings. No Mesolithic finds have been recorded around the crags. Nearby burnt mounds have been excavated by the Northumberland Archaeological Group and radiocarbon dated to the Neolithic/Earlier Bronze Age. Other Bronze Age funerary and agricultural clearance monuments are also recorded in the area. A large enclosed settlement of the Romano-British period lies at a western, craggy, edge of the main plateau and panels have also been recorded here.

In 1885 James Moffat of Lilburn Cottage wrote about it (AA ii Vol 10) in some detail, but the picture he gives us is somewhat confusing. Some men broke up a large stone while a field was being prepared for turnips. Bones appeared. Mr Moffat found fragments of stone lying around; he says that the grave had been opened to a depth of 16in, leaving 2 in of soil above the top deposit of bones. (But where did the scattered bone come from?). The grave was 9ft 2in from north to south. A trench had been dug 20in wide on each side of the bones, leaving a section with deposits in it. He trowelled this and discovered that there were cremation burials in two of the pits, one above the other as follows: 1. There were seven shallow depressions with three small whinstones (dolerite) over each, allowing for a half inch of soil. There was evidence of cremations, with teeth and bits of jaw. 2. After the removal of this layer, four to five inches lower was a row of five circular depressions, rather larger than those above. Four had three small whinstones over them, and the largest pit at the north end had five. There was evidence of cremation, but the bones found here seemed larger. It is quite likely that the pit, with its multiple burials, was Neolithic rather than early Bronze Age. It is also likely that it would have been capped by a long mound. It is characteristic of a long barrow site; not on the hilltop, but visible from lower ground over a great distance. The stones (Lilburn burial a and b) that came from the pit burial are at Museum of Antiquities. Mr Moffat explains: Mr Tait (the tenant farmer) informed me that the stone with the marking on it found at the west side of the south end of the line of pits was a thick massive stone, shaped like the apex of a pyramid, and carved on each side but one, which had suffered partial demolition at some previous period.

It is difficult to see how the other piece of rock (Lilburn burial b) fits in with the rest, but it was certainly recorded as part of the pit deposit: the fragment has had part of its decoration broken off; the main motif is a ring around a boss and six concentric rings that are more incised than pecked. Four similarly concentric arcs, cut off, join the outer ring, moving in a different direction. This type of motif is not usual in Northumberland, where the centre of arcs and rings are normally cupped. In Langdale, however, at a recently-recorded massive block of rock marked on its vertical face, an unmarked centre is common.

The grave size suggests a Neolithic date, since it is substantially larger than average Bronze Age burial cists. However, Bronze Age cists and graves often have several episodes of interment, whilst in the Neolithic, inhumation is more common.

Views from the site include the undulating ground, the Lilburn Burn and River Till valleys, with the Cheviot and much of the Fell Sandstone Group Hills; the latter includes generally visible areas of rock art. Apart from the very monument in which the panel was discovered, there are few nearby records of sites and finds contemporary with this site other than further rock art panels (to the northeast near Trickley and Fowberry Moor).

The barrow had two cists, the primary oval one being dug into the base rock. The cist was empty. A secondary cist, very close by, rested on the base shale, and measured 2?3? x 2? x 17? deep (11x 10.06 x 0.46m). The floor was roughly paved. At the time it was reported: Only the side and end stones of the cist remain, and on the centre of the inner face of the southern side stone is a fine cup mark 1? ? diameter and ??deep (0.013, 0.019m). This cup-marked is Ouston, Pike Hill b. Three feet away from this disturbed cist lay what was probably the cist cover, described as an irregular heart--shaped rock 24? x 21? x 5?

The markings are well and deeply cut and in some places show the rough pick marks of the first operation of incision but are generally smoothed by grinding. This cup-marked rock is Ouston, Pike Hill a. The description shows that the design on the cist cover was probably facing into the cist. What is on the stone does not quite tally with the description, for the pick marks show no signs of being smoothed. The motifs on this stone are clearly made to fit the shape and size of the stone. They are pristine, and therefore the rock has not been exposed to any erosion (i.e. it was buried). The location suggests that it was specifically made for the cist of an early Bronze Age burial. Because it does not have concentric circles this does not make the design ?simple?. There are four deeply pecked cups that form a square. They are linked by wide, pecked, straight grooves on three sides and the fourth b y a slightly curved groove. The interior of this motif appears as a square with rounded corners. In a Dod law context this would be an unusual design; a deep cup lies between a corner cup and the edge, with very faint pecking that may have been intended to link the two. There are pick marks between the central motif and the edge, including two faint cups. On the other side there is a long groove and a large cup, with more scattered faint pick marks. The quality of the pecking is outstanding." 1897,10018,"speak to Horacio about lumping a + b together also, Stan mentioned that b might be in situ - check" 1898,10006,A well-pecked deep cup 1898,10019,Found on the South Middleton farm.

The area is mainly rough grazing and moorland, bounded by stonewalls and fences, separated from improved and cleared grasslands for stock and gamebird plantations. Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views.

Information provided by John Steele (NNP). General introduction to Lordenshaw: The sandstone promontory on which Lordenshaw stands is to the north east of the Simonside --Dove Crags range of hills. Its north west and south east flanks drop respectively to Whitton Dean, a tributary of the Coquet and to a narrow glaciated valley overlooked to the east by another outlying sandstone hill that rises to the same height as Lordenshaw. There is a rise to the hillfort from the south west, then the land slopes away to the north east, finger-like, to the Whitton Burn. This raised, prominent extension of the Simonside Hills reaches 268m.OD, and is made up of outcrop Fell sandstone, with only a thin layer of acidic soil. There are patches of bright orange soil thrown up by rabbits, and a dark grey soil elsewhere. The whole area has archaeology of many different periods, one of the most recent and most significant being the clearance of much of the land to the east for ?improvement? for the growing of grain on a regular close-running rig and furrow system. This must have destroyed some surface archaeology, and may have resulted in some of the stone heaps that could also be prehistoric burial mounds. Prominent on the hilltop is a ?fort?, a ditched Iron Age enclosure that has been re-used as a Romano-British settlement. The slope southwards to the modern road and car park has many field walls, some of cobble and soil construction, and others of vertically--set sandstones. Some of these walls cross one another, and represent different episodes in the use of the land. The oldest features belong to the late Neolithic period, represented by cup and ring marked rocks over a wide area. The motifs vary from simple cups to more complex ringed cups and grooves, but there is a characteristic regional phenomenon of long grooves or channels that follow the slope of the outcrop sheets on the east side of the hill. It is impossible to date outcrop markings, but in this area three possible early bronze age cairns have been built on marked outcrop rock, showing that the latter are either contemporary or earlier, and also showing that the sites were already of great importance in the landscape before the cairns were added. All the marked rocks in situ are at prominent viewpoints, some commanding many miles of territory. A few cupped rocks in the hillfort allow the possibility that some marked surfaces may have been destroyed during its construction, and the medieval Deer Park wall may account for others being broken up and reused. Modern quarrying has certainly taken its toll, especially on the north west, where masses of freestone have been removed, leaving holes in the ground like bomb craters, and the main block of rock art (2c) bears every sign of the quarrying process. Add to that a network of other walls, including those for sheilings (temporary herds? houses and gardens), and it is likely that we have lost a large proportion of rock art." 1907,10014,Find spot: NZ 051 992 1907,10016,"The name 'Lordenshaw' (also Lordinshaw) is not clear in its origin, but may come from heavy (Old French lourdin) ridge (Old English hou, which occurs as 'hoe', as in Prudhoe or Swinhoe, for example). The other meaning of 'shaw' is a wood. If the first derivation is correct it means that the ridge was unproductive, for 'heavy' was used as a term of complaint." 1907,10018,ask Paul Frodsham about the location 1907,2,"This moorland and rough grazing area lies on Lordenshaw Hill?s western flanks, and comprises a series of terraces in the Fell Sandstone Group arc. Occasional rock outcrops break the bracken- and heather-covered slopes. At the highest terrace edge the ground falls away southeast and rises more gently to the northeast. Rock art is found scattered across the slopes and near the terrace edges. Several springs in these slopes flow to the Whitton Burn and Coquet Valleys, which have incised deep courses through the hills. Many views can be obtained across the area. The flattened, much modified, top of Lordenshaw Hill is the highest immediate point, whilst further slopes and terraces of the Fell Sandstone Group rise to the Simonside ridge. The views from all the rock art locations include much of the sandstone group?s arc and the northwest slopes to the Whitton Burn, and more distantly, across Coquetdale, the Cheviot Hills. Views southeast from some of the rock art are blocked by the slopes and terrace edges, though the highest locations also have distant views this way. Other rock art areas visible include Football Cairn, Chirnells Moor, West Hills and Westcliffe House. The North and East Lordenshaw rock art areas are only partially visible. Several monuments that might be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age have been identified. These include cairns located on both of the terrace edges. Two are thought to be burial cairns, likely Bronze Age, being situated at the false crest of the hill a situation typical for these monuments. One of these is directly associated with the Horseshoe Panel, using the panel almost as a kerbstone. Other cairns might result from clearance of fields created on the terrace ?levels?. It is possible, though unproved, that these may date to the first period of Bronze Age agricultural clearance in the area. A small settlement of round houses and enclosure walls of Iron Age-Romano-British date has been recorded on Birky Hill, where rock art panels have also been recorded. An encircling ditch incorporating further rock art panels runs around the top of the Lordenshaw Hill. A stonewall runs across the area from the second terrace area and down the northwestern slopes. This also incorporates rock art panels. The wall is recorded as the boundary of Rothbury Forest, attested in Medieval documents, and joined by a series of sod cast dykes running along and across the lower terrace edge. These boundaries define areas of rigg and furrow ploughing, with further clearance cairns and, in part, also explain the distribution of the rock art. Quarrying ( thought to be Medieval or later) has taken place along some of the upper terrace edge, removing much rock and, in places, parts of rock art panels. This has resulted in extraction hollows northeast of the main panel, sheer and sharp edges of stone, and loose small waste stones. Tool marks can also be seen in some of the stone remaining." 1907,3,Sandstone 1907,7,Sandstone 1907,1,Sandstone portable slab.

I had seen the low mound between the public path and the road, with a large stone projecting on the south side with two apparently natural cups on top. The low mound, no higher than the large stone, oval in shape, had not been recorded, and had presumably gone unnoticed when permission was given for the field clearance to go ahead in May, 1982. Boulders were removed from the area, and dumped beside the public footpath and at the edge of the outcrop hill, where some remain. The mound was bulldozed, and the large stone lifted and dumped with other clearance, north of the footpath. It was then that I saw the large stone, with its remarkable pattern of cup, concentric rings, and radial grooves. The shallow hole from which it had been taken was just about visible in disturbed soil. The farmer, David Murray, not only agreed to halt work at my (unofficial) request, but got his men to search the area for more decorated cobbles. He also agreed to my excavating the site, and to its reinstatement after excavation. He saved all the cobbles in a heap that had been removed from the site of the mound. An examination of sparse documentation revealed that Canon Greenwell had investigated six possible burial cairns, two of which had cists with no bodies remaining. These did not have precise locations, and only one is still visible, outside the area of rock art on the public footpath leading west from site 6. I regarded the bulldozed site as a possible burial cairn, and set out my excavation grid in an area surrounded by recent ploughing. Field walking in the disturbed ground did not produce any flints or other artefacts. About three-quarters of the mound had been bulldozed away, and what was left was carefully trowelled to base. At the same time, marked cobbles were being recovered and saved. A team of eight people was involved in the excavation and recording. Every stone left at base level in situ was recorded, and the area carefully examined for evidence of burial (a cist pit, for example). There were no signs of burial. The natural base of the field had a compact pebble layer, and the soil among the stones included pebbles. Most of the cairn stones were of the cobble type, rounded, and they included volcanic rock brought down by ice. The stones left in situ were not quarried, but were of the type found on the surface during clearance. Only one edge of the oval-shaped mound retained any kind of integrity. There was no kerb of larger stones, but the periphery was made up of cobbles, with the exception of the large, rounded sandstone boulder the motifs of which originally faced inward. Its base was flat and had been sunk in a shallow hole, its flat base giving it sufficient stability to stand upright. The drawing shows the disposition of the undisturbed stones in the mound, but there was nothing more to report other than the extraordinary number of marked cobbles found in the mound's structure. 21 were found in situ, mostly face-down. I had found 4 in the spoil heaps before the excavation began, and the rest of the 'loose' marked stones were picked up by the farmers. All the marked stones were sandstones, and no markings were found on volcanic rocks. It was impossible to distinguish between recent and ancient disturbance at the centre of the mound, and there was no sign of a cist pit. Had the mound been built over a body, there would be no survival. There was no evidence of cremated remains or burning. The large marked boulder could have been on the site as a standing stone, and the oval mound constructed with it as a kerb marker. The fact that the motifs face into the mound and were not meant to be seen is important. Even as a standing stone it is unlikely that its pattern would have faced north, for it was more likely to be viewed on the approach to the panels of rock art on the hill to the north. The deliberate obscuring of uneroded motifs means that the motifs were a private and not a public gesture - not meant to be seen- and more concerned with the dead than the living. They are different in concept from motifs in the landscape: it is as though they have been deliberately turned into the earth instead of facing the sky, and therefore more concerned with the dead than the living. Even though the mound may not have been used either primarily or exclusively as a burial, it had an important ritual function in the landscape. It does not lie among the markings on the hill, but stands on the edge of the concentration. The placing of marked cobbles in a mound, a deliberate, calculated placement in the case of those turned face down, makes nonsense of the idea that they just happened to be a convenient building material lying around. The cobbles had been selected for size, shape, and surface area, probably held on the lap, and chipped with a hard stone tool to produce cups and grooves. All these pick marks are visible and uneroded, and some are marked on two sides. Not all the motifs are completed, and it seems that the act of putting some basic symbols on the rocks was sufficient for the ritual purpose. The presentation of the mound as an oval shape is largely conjectural, but it has the effect of allowing us to gather the loose stones together in one place, and of highlighting the position of the standing kerb stone. It will also keep machinery clear of this stone. Most of the marked cobbles are at Berwick Museum, but one was requested by the Science Museum, London. One was left, sentimentally, on the mound. This site, together with the one close by at Fowberry, has given us a new dimension on the use of rock art in monuments. Mounds incorporating marked cobbles are very rare, but the discovery of similar cobbles in walls and field clearance heaps suggests that other destroyed mounds might have contained them. When we excavated the massive cairn at Blawearie, we examined every cobble within the mound, and not one was marked. The reason why some mounds were chosen for this ritual is unknown. One may put forward the idea that the marked cobbles were rather like wreaths at a funeral: that people made them and placed them in the burial mound. Since the excavation and reinstatement of the mound there have been other finds of small marked cobbles in the area, one of which is at Fowberry Cottage." 1910,10016,The name Weetwood means the wet wood. 1910,5,Pecking 1910,1,"The stone has a very level smooth top surface.

The gentle slopes are mainly improved grassland and evergreen plantations used for the rearing of stock and gamebirds respectively. Scattered outcrops are present throughout these slopes, often with dumped stones from the surrounding fields and gorse bushes in elevated areas. Little now remains of monuments contemporary with the creation of the rock art panels here, though these have been recorded, as have some finds, in the course of agricultural activities. The slopes give good views from the elevated high ground across the Till Valley and its tributary the Hetton Burn. The rock art panels are found down the valley sides, so a variety of levels of view are obtained, but a spur of land prevents views to other areas in the lower areas. The Till Valley changes course below these panels, from south to the west, as it skirts around the Gled Law/Doddington Moor area. There are no associated monuments contemporary with the rock carvings in this area. The nearest such monument is a stone circle at Doddington Moor. There has been widespread agricultural improvement and plantations of the surrounding ground. This has resulted in the destruction of a later prehistoric unenclosed settlement, possibly Bronze Age, and led to the discovery of several prehistoric flint artefacts.

Their main course disciplines were different. When we were about to leave the site after looking at the North Plantation rocks when light snow began to fall, Murray Chisholm, a music student, called us back as we went to the minibus. He had noticed a large cup on a rock among dead bracken. This turned out to be the most southerly of a series of rock motifs that covered a whole spine of outcrop rock. With Lance Strother?s permission we returned, fully equipped, to see if any more rock art was hidden in the dead bracken; this proved to be so on the edges of the outcrop. A mound on the outcrop hinted at something else, so a 26m datum line was established along the length of the outcrop and trenches laid out parallel to it and at right angles. A careful systematic clearance of vegetation revealed piles of cobblestones on top, thinning out to the south. These were drawn and a pattern established where the mound was in the scatter. It had a double kerb and sat on top of the outcrop. The kerb was constructed by laying the two arcs of cobbles and packing the space between them with smaller stones. Cobbles were mostly used, but there was a small arc of pink igneous rock that had presumably been brought to the area originally by ice. A prominent feature of the inner kerb was an upright regular sandstone slab with two cups like eyes looking to the north. As each cobblestone was cleaned as it emerged, some were found to have motifs pecked into them, mainly with simple cups but others more elaborately. There was sufficient of the mound intact to establish that it was not a field clearance heap, and that the motifs on the cobbles echoed those on the outcrop. The scale of this was unprecedented. The northern part of the site was more confusing, and a large hollow with an edge of stone at first appeared to be an enclosure. It turned out to be a small quarry. The freestone here splits vertically and horizontally, producing good building blocks, until a floor is reached. This quarry could have removed decorated rock. There were many small slabs and cobbles of the type normally picked up during field clearance that may have been thrown to one side so the quarrymen could get at the good rock surface. They were in lines immediately at the western edge of the working. It is possible that other cairns were demolished in this clearing process. There was less disturbance to the south, though there had been trees there. The whole area is surrounded by magnificent old beech trees, and the planting of these would have caused disturbance. To the east is a large circular hollow that we investigated; it proved to be another of these quarries also seen on Weetwood Moor. The logic seemed to be to locate a good edge of freestone, then exploit it forward and sideways. It is possible to mistake such hollows as settlement sites; it is also possible to mistake limited rectangular stone extraction for a cist. A profile cross-section of the site shows that there was a very thin layer of sand above the outcrop beneath the cobbles of the mound; in this was the only artefact: a sealed in worked flint that could be used as a scraper of knife and belong to the Neolithic-early Bronze Age period. There was no evidence of any time gap between the mound and the marking of the outcrop, and the thin sand was sterile. The stones of the mound and other scattered stones were from 10-40 cm long, mostly sandstone, with the odd volcanic erratic. The most important feature of this site is the distribution of marked cobbles. Not only did they form part of the mound, but four kerbstones were cup marked and have been left buried in situ. The rest have been removed to the Museum of Antiquities except for Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn n, which is at Berwick Museum, and Fowberry Excavation site - Cairn r , which could not be relocated during the project. The decoration on the removed cobbles varies from simple cups to a complex cup-penannular-radiate design. This complex design was on a cobble found south of the projected south edge of the outer kerb ? unless the mound was longer along its north-south axis, which we don?t know because there was only a light scatter of stone there and more possibility that the outcrop had been cleared of any covering stone. For anyone trying to peck a cup into a cobble, the danger is that the rock will split with the force of the blow. It takes skill." 2044,10016,The name Fowberry means the fortification of the foal. 2044,10019,"The outcrop rocks and kerbstones are still on site, but the portables have been removed to the Berwick Museum and the Museum of Antiquities." 2044,1, 2045,1, 2045,10008,On a rise between the Ravensheugh cliff edge and the valley to the south made by the Coal Burn flowing east and rising just south of the stones.

The stones are usually graded in height and ?a quarter of the sites have cupmarks, but these, unlike the tallest stone, are invariably on the eastern side, nearly always on the south east stone.?

They were discovered in the nineteenth century and drawn, but closer investigation has led me to find many more on the same surface. They are atypical, as a glance at the drawings shows, for they are based mainly on spiral motifs. Some others may have tumbled from the rock face into the river, where parts of the cliff have collapsed. The site has a shut--in feel, despite the fact that the land opens up on the north part of the river. The sun seldom reaches the north--facing motifs, which are liberally distributed. Many are beyond easy reach, which suggests that either equipment was needed to reach them or the river was higher. To record some of them, I (Stan Beckensall) had to have a ladder lodged in the river bed when the water was at its lowest. Locally the site has been known as the ?Jack Rock,? with one design seen as a lion?s face. The motifs were first recorded in the History of the Berwick Naturalists? Club, Volume X (1882-4) by James Hardy after their discovery by Mr Middleton Dand of Hauxley. Apart from their obvious context at an important fording place across a river that must have been a major food source and vital means of communication, there is a hint that there may have been burials nearby. Mr Dand wrote: There are several mounds running from north to south on the north side of the river on Warkworth Moor?they are not unlike barrows?or?they may be merely owing to tracks worn at different ages to Pomfret?s Ford. However, we have to accept that these motifs lie in isolation from any definite prehistoric sites. The spiral motifs are quite different from cups and rings. The only other examples in Northumberland are at Lilburn and West Horton. If we are looking for sea--borne sources of influence (and I don?t see why we should), the obvious direction is not from Ireland, where spirals are frequent in decoration of passage graves. Further north, at Hawthornden in Scotland are similar spirals on cliffs, but that does not link them except stylistically. More obvious parallels would be in Galloway, to the west. So why are they here, who put them there and why? I don?t know. Spirals of any kind are rare in Britain. Their contexts, spread widely, include stone circles, pottery, carved stone balls, maceheads, reused slabs in early Bronze Age graves, and in passage graves in Ireland, Anglesey and Orkney. Some are on rock outcrops. They are not all alike: the horned spiral occurs, for example, only at Morwick and Lilburn, and in Scotland at Temple Wood, Achnabreck, Lamancha, Gilnockie Tower and Orkney. It occurs too on a Grooved Ware vessel from Radley. ?Triple spirals? occur only at Morwick, Achnabreck, and New Grange (Ireland), but they are joined in different ways. This is what makes Morwick so special, for it has single, S-shaped, horned and triple spirals as well as a unique design of three spirals linked to concentric circles and a spiral surrounded by a ring of cups. All this is to be set against the great rarity of spirals of any kind in Britain. Its position in the landscape makes it one of only 11 open-air sites in northern England and southern Scotland. Unlike the more usual cup and ring motifs this is on a vertical cliff rather than on near-horizontal rock. Its position is in a very important river valley, with many prehistoric sites along the course of the river, close to access from and egress to the sea. There is no man--made monument there, but its position is naturally striking as an important river crossing, so to travellers, hunters, settlers and fishermen it would act as a reference point, taking on perhaps a ritual significance of such importance that it inspired a unique art form. No one had to teach the people to do that; we do not have to look for sources of this art; it may even have been the source. I believe that many motifs can be produced by many different people in different parts of the world instinctively. (Young children are particularly good at discovering spirals for themselves, and I have seen people who are bored in committee meetings forming them on their note pads and agendas.) In Galloway the majority of spirals are not used in association with cup and ring motifs, but are on rocks by themselves, despite the latter being widely distributed. The places where spirals have the most significance in England and Scotland are on stone circles, such as Long Meg and Castlerigg (Cumbria), in the passage graves of the Boyne valley (Eire), Anglesey and Orkney. At Newgrange Eire) they are at particularly important places in the grave; as many are inside, only a few people at a time could view them; others are placed on the decorated kerbstones. Such placement gives us a rare dating possibility, but for that site only: later Neolithic. It is just possible that the re-excavation of the pit at Lilburn could provide more information by using modern methods of excavation. It has been said that the horned spiral at Achnabreck is earlier than the cup and ring motifs on the same rock; as it is in exactly the same condition as the best of them, I can see no reason for saying so. Despite many attempts to explain them, much speculation remains in a world of fantasy-- at least, it doesn?t convince me! What we cannot deny is that they were very important to the people who made and used them; the motifs had a meaning that may continue to elude us. The danger is that we read ourselves into them - a natural response that brings many answers." 2047,10016,Morwick means 'fen farm'. 2047,1, 2048,10003,Cows and sheep walking over the rock. 2048,10006,One cup and two cups with grooves. 2048,10008,16m NNE of Fowberry Mains/Fowberry Park e and 70cm E of the path. 2048,10016,The name Fowberry means the fortification of the foal. 2048,10018,generate description from the drawing 2048,1,"A carving matching the Beckensall Archive sketch for Fowberry Mains/Fowberry Park D was found at the grid reference given for Fowberry Mains/Fowberry Park G.

There were 17 cup marked stones, all made of rough sandstone, although the parent rock was limestone." 2049,10019,Find spot: NY 887 793 2049,10021,"This panel might not be on display, in which case prior arrangements will have to be made with the museum to view it." 2049,1, 2050,10001,references current location of b and c 2050,10011,"The excavation of the Turf Knowe North cairn overlooking the Ingram valley is part of a large investigation of an area that includes lynchet field systems, rig and furrow, old field boundaries and settlements of different periods. Undertaken by the Northumberland National Park, the University of Durham and the Northumberland Archaeological Group. It is ambitious and exciting investigation of a large sweep of landscape. The cairn was one of two that did not show up before the excavation. The south cairn was a rare ?tri-radial? type, with cremation burials of the ?food vessel? type; one cist had been emptied of its food vessel and bones and an iron spearhead replaced it. The north cairn, built on an artificial platform that had flint artefacts from the Middle Stone Age onward contained at least seventeen cremation burials and some food vessels. The large cist at the centre of this mound had a food vessel and beads, accompanying the cremated remains of at least two people but the pit filling around the cist included two small cup marked stones (Turf Knowe b and c) and a saddle quern set on its edge. Another possible cup mark was found on the edge of the capstone (Turf Knowe a) . The cups do not amount to much, but it is important to note that they are there." 2050,1, 2051,2,"Beanley Moor is a north and northeast facing hillside with remains of prehistoric occupation in hillfort and other settlement areas, trackways, ancient field walls and, predating them all, a number of both portable and bedrock panels bearing cup and ring markings. Beanley hillfort settlement, called ?The Ringses? is compact, well sited and in excellent condition with high ramparts and deep ditches. On a sheltered plain beyond is a rectangular stone walled settlement with associated boulder constructed field walls, probably of Romano-British date but unexcavated. A large semi-circular compound up against the steep scarp face is also bounded by large boulders and another settlement area. Beyond and on higher ground is evidence of extensive quarrying for millstones and the hillside is scattered with both glacial and industrial debris. Intervisibility is good with views to the plain below to the North and North-East and across to the hill fort. To the South is a cairnfield with substantial cairns, some thought to be funerary. Views extend to Ros Castle to the North. Other rock art lies within 30 m: a block in a cluster of stones which is part of the same ancient fieldwall. Ancient, possible Iron Age or earlier, fieldwalls are close by and elsewhere on the Beanley site. Cairns are evident within 300 m. Rock art panels in the area are a mixture of in situ and re-located examples. Iron Age and Romano-British activities may account for the positioning, or more accurately the clearance of panels. The Iron Age hillfort dominates the surrounding area, and this may have been responsible for the creation of the field boundaries akin to those at Lordenshaw. More recent field clearance is also partially responsible for the movement of some panels; many small clearance cairns are recorded near the Romano-British settlement and field system, and these also incorporate rock art. Widespread Medieval and Post Medieval quarrying, including that for millstones, may have also destroyed rock art panels. Beckensall describes panels 1 ? 11 as remaining in the landscape, with two other highly decorated portables found and removed in the 19th Century, are on display in Alnwick Castle Museum. Nine of the eleven were located by the NADRAP survey but some considered debatable as rock art. Panels 8 and 9 could not be located among a multitude of boulders. Only two certain panels are noted here as the others display only single or low number scatters of cup marks without further decoration. Panel 1 is a covered panel in need of protection. As an example of detailed cup and penannular design in pristine condition it is almost without peer. The find site is interesting as a shaped landscape through which an ancient trackway leads from the hillfort area north toward the lower, more fertile river valley. Panel 3 is a large expanse of bedrock on an eminence south of the hill fort, near to a still erect unmarked standing stone and ancient field walls. The surface displays a number of ringed cups and other cups scattered without apparent arrangement. This location overlooks the weather-sheltered plain beneath the scarp, and other lower lying, what must have been, wetlands that are now farmed fields. Beanley?s other panels are widespread across a large area mostly contained within the sheltered plain. Two others on higher ground are considered uncertain and may be natural or weather dulled marks left by quarrying activity. Whilst the original locations of some examples cannot be fully determined, there is sufficient situ rock art present to observe a trend similar to other rock art locations: on valley lips or hillside locations with wide views over surrounding low-lying ground. Here the low-lying ground is mainly marshy and wetlands. Distant views are obtained to other rock art areas on surrounding higher ground, and no locations appear to be deep within the Beanley-Hunterheugh island of higher ground. The peripheral nature of the rock art to this island of higher ground is shared by further panels at Hunterheugh. Thanks are given to Farmers, Landowners and their families who willingly assisted by permitting access, giving guidance and offering personal interpretations." 2051,7, 2051,1, 2052,2,"This rock art area is a largely cleared, improved grassland with rougher fringes, on a northward-tilting promontory Fell Sandstone Group extending westwards towards the Cheviot Hills. It is a prominent feature in the landscape of Northumberland, rising from the main sandstone arc, with crags and steep slopes off in most directions, appearing as a high ?island?. Many views can be obtained from the area. From the promontory edges views are obtained to the distant Cheviot Hills and Weetwood block over the Till/Breamish, with areas of rock art both on and off the main Fell Sandstone Group arc, such as Doddington/Dod Law, Amerside Law, and Beanley/Hunterheugh rock art areas amongst others. Back along the promontory the undulating main Fell Sandstones Group arc is seen as Bewick, Blawearie-Bewick and Harehope Moors. The tilt of the promontory itself prevents a view of all areas being obtained till near the hill/slope top. There is an extensive series of rock art panels across the area. Evidence of human activity are present across the whole area, and the panels are a mixture of in situ and re-located panels. Finds which are potentially contemporary with the rock art include Neolithic pottery found below the northwestern crags and other artefacts from nearby Bewick Moor. A stone circle, previously recorded at this site, is disputed. A cairn near the main panel, and enclosed cremation cemeteryat the end of the promontory, are both likely Early Bronze Age. Panels in Group 1 (which includes the main panel) are surrounded by field clearance and quarrying stone debris. The small clearance cairns are believed to be Post Medieval, placed around the earthfast panels. Toolmarks (thought to belong to the same period) show efforts were made to quarry parts of the main panel. Group 3 panels are clustered around (and have been used in) an Iron Age rampart with possible ditch. A large erratic, also with rock art, has been incorporated wholesale into the ramparts. Other stones have been cleared to the side of the bank. A rock art panel previously noted within the rampart has been excavated around and is surrounded by a halo of excavated material. The Old Bewick Quarry group appear to have been cut from an unknown outcrop. The quarry is likely Post Medieval or Modern in date, possibly destroying, if present, more rock art panels than those recorded in this immediate area. Post Medieval field walls cross the neck of the promontory, and the surrounding lower slopes. They are likely the end use of stones from the cairn, clearance and quarrying." 2052,7, 2052,1, 2053,2,"Football Cairn is located 1.7km north west of Rothbury at the height of west-facing slopes between Rothbury and Cartington. Football Cairn panels are mostly close to the once large burial cairn sited on top of this prominent hill. (The name is claimed to derive from the ?kick off point? for an inter-village competitive football match, similar to one held annually at Alnwick. This practice has died out). Several panels of rock art have been identified in this area. They are concentrated near the top of a high rounded summit, though none have been found at the very top. The top of the area possesses a large, disturbed cairn with a central cist covered by a capstone, and smaller satellite cists. An edge of low stones, of single stone thickness, is partly visible. Some stones appear to be selected Cheviot granite (contrasting with the grey Fell Sandstone bedrock). Lots of bedrock is exposed in this area as well; much possesses many quartz and iron-base veins of material. A few boulders appear set upright in the area, possibly in connection with the cairn. The cairn has been much disturbed, particularly to the southeast of the main cist. No specific report is noted though several items have vague provenances in the Greenwell and Alnwick Collections. The hill has also suffered quarrying evidenced by widespread depressions across the hill, and quarried southeastern flanks. A pathway runs up the side of the hill from the carriageway drive. Some of this might have been quarried for Lord Armstrong?s Cragside estate. Both the rock art and cairn afford an extensive view in all directions except the southeast. The view includes other rock art areas at Lordenshaw, Ravensheugh and Chirnells, with some of these very panels visible, on the Fell Sandstone Group, as well as the Cheviot Hills. The Chirnells site is clearly visible as outcropping stone along a ridge. Within 1km, though not in direct line of sight, there is confirmed rock art at Westhills. Views to the west and north are excellent overlooking valley routes that follow the Coquet toward Alwinton, and southwest toward Elsdon. The higher Simonside ridge can be seen across the valley. The coastline is visible in the distance to the East. At this elevation, 255m, light grey sandstone bedrock can be seen exposed across the top of the hill. The thin layer of acidic soil supports only patchy grass, heather and bracken. In prehistory it is likely, that even in a warmer climate, tree cover would be sparse. This high ground, rocky and exposed, appears to have changed little over time. Fifteen metres north of the cairn, a naturally and deeply weathered stone stands erect. There are no identified cup marks on this or other stones north of the cairn: all marked rock art panels lie to the east and south of the cairn and hill summit. Panel A is on exposed outcrop 10m south and down-slope from the cairn displaying cups with multiple rings, heavily eroded and therefore difficult to identify. Some features are visible only in low evening sunlight or with the sheen of water cover. Periodic long-term exposure to weathering has flattened all surface definition. The artwork seems to have eroded noticeably when compared with earlier photographs. Panel B, some 12m further, is an upstanding triangular block with a single large and deep cup. In common with much of the rock thereabouts, thick lines of quartz run through it. This cup could be a natural depression eroded and deepened by water pooling over time. Regularity of shape, position and proximity to nearby confirmed rock art promote its tentative acceptance as artificial. Panel C, though pictured in the Beckensall Archive, could not be located. This is another panel with certain carved markings, cups with grooves and multiple rings and it is disappointing it not to have been found in this project. Hopefully, it exists under turf and has not become invisible through erosion. Panel D is 100m southeast, a small boulder with multiple randomly placed cups which appear carved and grouped in an arrangement. Other faces, however, show smaller cupules caused by erosion or dropout of intrusions, so, once again, a suspicion of natural formation exists for the motifs claimed. There is evidence everywhere on these slopes that large outcrops and large glacially deposited boulders have been cut up and moved by extensive quarrying activity. Panel E, located on a north-facing outcrop 120m northeast of the cairn is a fine arrangement. Most significant are two cups with multiple rings, separated by a large bowl-like hollow that may be natural. Other large hollows in nearby rock show this sandstone subject to this type of weathering. In this instance, it may have been used as part of the design or indeed may have attracted the carver to this location. This panel is the furthest panel from the cairn site. Panel F is a large slab of exposed bedrock, within 20m of the cairn. It is patterned by lines of thick quartz and the Beckensall Archive records two cup marks. Many other outcropping surfaces nearby and exposed slopes leading to Football Cairn, show instances of very similar cups not claimed to be artificial. The cups here are nicely formed, round, of similar depth and profile. A possible credibility is given by the proximity of Panel A, only10m away; however, authenticity of these two cups as carved is uncertain. Panel G, on the southeast slope of the hill, is one of many large, exposed, flat expanses of bedrock. The cups claimed are similar to others evident on most nearby exposed rock. Sandstone composition here allows the natural formation of cups, bowls, shallow basins and interlinking shallow drainage grooves. Evidence of quarrying is widespread and some stones show small multiple indentations recognised as relating to this activity. In the absence of other more definite decoration it is uncertain that these cups are carved. This is an interesting group of panels and well worth visiting. Complex motifs, once sharply carved are now mostly worn down, flattened by the effect of long exposure to weathering. Close proximity links the rock carving to the burial cairn that might be of a much later date, and may, as much as the prominent elevation, have influenced the cairn builders? choice of site.

An Iron Age hillfort occupies the summit, with lower slopes being traversed by many hollow ways and tracks both ancient and modern. The hill overlooks an access route from coastal plain to interior and views from the top are spectacular. The area is evocative of prehistory; a foreboding hill above, bare almost featureless moorland around and little sign of human intrusion, other than the modern road and the general lack of native trees. The main group of rock art panels, Ros Castle 1 to 5, are closely grouped in a small area of outcropping sandstone that shows clear signs of quarrying, at the base of the hill, about 100m from the roadside. The quarrying activity is undated, and is unrecorded by Ordnance Survey map. Two other panels, Ros Castle 6 to 7, of debatable provenance, are found about 330m southeast, 50m from the road. The panels overlook lower ground along the Fell Sandstone Group range to the south and across the Till valley to the west, including other rock art areas. A view eastwards is blocked by a low ridge for the western group though the eastern pair on this ridge share largely the same western views. The panels are situated at the watershed of tributaries of the Aln and Till rivers. There are no monuments contemporary with the rock art north of the road. To the south and southeast, on Hepburn Moor, are many cairns, mostly clearance but with some cist burials and an unenclosed hut circle thought to be Bronze Age. The cairns spread from high moorland to low-lying marsh and are mostly on east-facing slopes. A small number of rock art panels are located here but few remain in situ. Towards the coast, beyond Modern forestry plantations, lie extensive cairnfields including large Bronze Age cairns at Chatton Sandyfords and Lucker Moor. Other remains of quarrying and the immediately adjacent undated series of hollow-ways are thought likely Medieval or Post Medieval in date. Panels 1-5 are marked with well-formed cup scatters and some linear arrangements identifying them as artificial. Two panels, numbers 3 and 5 are particularly well populated with cups on small areas of exposed rock. Panel 3 is difficult to find, lying flat to the ground and in deep heather. It appears to be of original size and is densely marked with small, well-formed cups in a perceptibly linear design, curving around separate larger cups. Panel 5 is outcrop with quarried edges but retains a scatter of cups. Panel 2 was previously described as bearing a single cup. This is centrally placed with one other possible cup near an edge. Photogrammetry reveals a large diameter carved ring / oval around the central cup and extending over most of the available surface. This faint ring may have formed part of an original design, a later addition, or possibly as a guideline for carving out a quern or small millstone. This main group is noteworthy for its position, which is only slightly elevated above the route-way valley between hills. Significantly, they are not on higher available outcrops, and therefore are less visible within a wide landscape. The position, however, is clearly visible from any route-way using this passage through the hills. The two remote panels, 6 and 7 are doubtful as artificial cup marked stones. No. 6 is a large block with many shallow hollows but none merits certain qualification as man made. No.7 is a large shallow cup shape bisected by a natural crack. Without adornment or peck markings, it could easily have developed from natural weathering to this southwest-facing outcrop. This may always have been a remote and relatively inaccessible location, but as a route from coast to the interior it has probably sustained continuous use. Ros Castle Hill is the highest in the locality and has likely been a landmark through time. It is possible, though speculative, that the exposed and much quarried scarp edge from the main group to the two remote and suspect panels, could have displayed other carved markings.

Rock art panels are found along a slightly elevated ridge, rising generally with the trend, but with slight slopes to the north and south.

The area is mainly rough grazing and moorland, bounded by stonewalls and fences, separated from improved and cleared grasslands for stock and gamebird plantations. Wide views can be obtained from the rock art locations. However, in places the adjacent rising ground of the higher Whitsun Bank and Coldmartin areas prevents distant views.

The crag runs in a SW-NE direction and leads into a hill fort. A dense mature plantation has been planted over the site of the panels. The plantation is also used for intensive rearing of pheasants for shooting. This area extends from the flanks of Doddington Moor/Dod Law as moorland, arable and pasture farmland and plantations. It is largely flat, ending with steep western and southern slopes down to the Till. It is based on a low Fell Sandstone Group terrace, which occasionally outcrops in the western slopes. There are craggy portions across the area with steep, localized, slopes. Slopes to the east are generally gentler, extending eastwards to Buttony. From the plateau edges wide views can be obtained in a variety of directions to the distant Cheviot Hills and other Fell Sandstone Group areas, and over and along the Till valley. This includes some rock art areas, such as the north of Weetwood Moor and the main Chatton Park-Old Bewick ridge. The crags and rising ground of Doddington Moor/Dod Law prevent an all-round view of distant areas. The gentle slopes have allowed Post Medieval ploughing of the ground to be undertaken with disturbance and destruction of archaeological monuments. A few monuments contemporary with the rock art panels of the Neolithic/Early Bronze Age have been recorded. These include Cuddie?s Cave rock shelter on the western flanks of Gled Law from which rock art has been recorded, as well as barrows and cairns with grave goods and others which are possibly related to agricultural clearance. These were discovered in the 19th century, as ploughing started on the flatter portions of the area. The steep slopes have escaped the ploughing and a number of monuments have been recorded.

Scattered outcrops are present throughout these slopes, often with dumped stones from the surrounding fields and gorse bushes in elevated areas. Little now remains of monuments contemporary with the creation of the rock art panels here, though these have been recorded, as have some finds, in the course of agricultural activities. The slopes give good views from the elevated high ground across the Till Valley and its tributary the Hetton Burn. The rock art panels are found down the valley sides, so a variety of levels of view are obtained, but a spur of land prevents views to other areas in the lower areas. The Till Valley changes course below these panels, from south to the west, as it skirts around the Gled Law/Doddington Moor area. There are no associated monuments contemporary with the rock carvings in this area. The nearest such monument is a stone circle at Doddington Moor. There has been widespread agricultural improvement and plantations of the surrounding ground. This has resulted in the destruction of a later prehistoric unenclosed settlement, possibly Bronze Age, and led to the discovery of several prehistoric flint artefacts.

Monuments here include the probable cairn / enclosure called the Grubstones Stone Circle (Scheduled Monument Number 1011761 / 25291) which is 1140m 301?, a large cairn called The Great Skirtful of Stones (Scheduled Monument Number 1010358 / 25286) 700m 306?, a ring cairn with a 27m diameter (Scheduled Monument Number 1010357 / 25285) is 600m 310?, a ring cairn with 24m diameter (Scheduled Monument Number 1010356 / 25284) is 253m 308? and several smaller cairns approximately 100m directly S of The Great Skirtful. Approximately 420m to the SW, a cairnfield consisting of 25+ cairns (some robbed) and two carved rocks (Hawksworth Shaw 01 and 02) can be seen around the Hawksworth Shaw area. A structure which is marked as a ?Ring Cairn? on OS maps is 50m 236? (SW), although the scheduling (1010355 / 25283) suggests this may actually be a robbed round cairn. Three, 2-3m round cairns sit just S of the fence 80m to the SE at grid references SE 14694 44086, SE 14675 44070, SE 14650 44048 and a more linear cairn / structure at SE14666 44048. The provenance of the cairn features near the fence is unclear, but the fact they line up against a relatively modern boundary and their proximity to later quarrying may possibly suggest they are not prehistoric, although all are well compacted with earth. To the N and W, old tracks in the form of hollow ways run in a southerly direction, although one to the W has stone revetted which probably indicates deliberate creation. There are also signs of extractive industry in the area, with the remains of limestone boulder pits 50m S and a sandstone quarry 80m ESE.

The immediate landscape is dominated by glacially deposited boulders and peri-glacially displaced rock from the Green Crag ridge above (eg ?Idol Rock? and ?Whaleback Rock? and by superficial deposits of glacial till with limestone and chert scattered across the area and weathered out along footpaths. In the area of the carved panels and on both sides of the footpath there are a number of mainly curvilinear rubble banks thought to be remains of at least one enclosure and possible field walls as well as a number of cairns and small mounds. On the S and SE of GCS02 (Whaleback Rock) there are remains of a rectilinear feature comprising of rubble walling but showing dressed stone at the NE.

Approximately 500m WSW, a cairnfield consisting of 25+ cairns (some robbed) and two carved rocks (Hawksworth Shaw 01 and 02) can be seen around the Hawksworth Shaw area. A structure which is marked as a ?Ring Cairn? on OS maps is 184m 286? (WNW), although the scheduling (1010355 / 25283) suggests this may actually be a robbed round cairn. Three, 2-3m diameter round cairns sit just S of the fence 80m to the NW at grid references SE 14694 44086, SE 14675 44070, SE 14650 44048 and a more linear cairn / structure at SE14666 44048. The provenance of the cairn features near the fence is unclear, but the fact they line up against a relatively modern boundary and their proximity to a later quarrying may possibly suggest they are not prehistoric, although all are well compacted with earth. To the N and W, old tracks in the form of hollow ways run in a southerly direction, although one to the W has stone revetted which probably indicates deliberate creation. There are also signs of extractive industry in the area, with the remains of limestone boulder pits W through to N and a sandstone quarry 60m N. Carvings Craven Hall Hill 02 (CHH02) is 268 m 329? (NNW) and Craven Hall Hill 01 (CHH01) 160m 304? (NW). It is also worth noting that several stones on the slope immediately to the W-NW display old bullet impacts, which are already beginning to erode and resemble cup marks. This ?cup-like? appearance will undoubtedly further increase over time due to further erosion and a darkening patina. The stones in question are a flat stone, 2m in length at grid reference SE 14737 44056 which has approximately 11 impacts at the SW corner, a 1m flat stone at SE 14733 44056 with 10+ impacts, a stone with 3 or 4 impacts on SE face at SE 14661 44055 and a stone with 2 impacts on SE face at SE 14672 44045.

Its current upper surface has motifs including ? seven definite single cups varying in diameter between 4-7cm and 1-4cm in depth, one truncated cup, one small possible cup, two conjoined cups and an area of worked stone containing a further example of conjoined cups and a large broad groove. It is not entirely clear whether these latter two motifs have been countersunk into the area of working, or the area around these motifs has been subsequently enhanced. Similarly, there is a strong suggestion of a cup within the broad groove, but determining which motif has been superimposed is difficult. All of the motifs appear fresh, and small rounded peck marks consistent with stone tooling are present in most, suggesting the stone has been protected from weathering. One of the most intriguing elements is that all the cups appear to be sited fairly centrally along faint fissures which connect cups in strips. This may be an artefact of cup creation rather than ?design?, but examination of archive photos shows the same to be true of the reverse side which is also cup marked. In addition, the truncated cup on the current upper surface is halved, and the reverse side is recorded as having threw truncated cups next to each other along the same edge. This suggests that the stone, which is known to have two other pieces (now lost), may have fractured along a fissure/fault which ran through cups. The stone shows signs of possible recent damage and had been previously recorded as being sited on top of the wall, rather than its current position. In order to prevent further damage only the upper surface was recorded during project fieldwork. Ilkley Archaeology Group indicate upwards of 16 definite cups on the reverse side.

Heather burning over the last 10 years has created patches of vegetation at various stages of regrowth. In some areas scatters of stones have been revealed, with twelve cairns identified within the survey area both E and W of Black Beck. Most of these cairns are low lying, oval and vary in size from a few metres to approximately five metres. The nearest and smallest of these cairns is 5m NE of the carved rock. 20m S of the carving, a possible linear feature comprised of sizable boulders, appears to arc south for approximately 40m. However, encroaching heather makes it impossible to map and identify this feature accurately (February 2013). 24m NNW of the carving, in a recently burnt area, a stone is surrounded by an arc of small, low earthbound stones, which look to have been placed. Other stones stone collections immediately around this area may well form structures, but there is not enough surface evidence to suggest definite features. On the W bank of the beck three shallow linear ditches/channels of unknown provenance cut into the landscape. The most southerly at SE 14005 43850 (out of survey area) runs for approximately 25m W-E and appears to have some stones revetted into its banks, suggesting some degree of artificiality.

Repeated plough strike grooves scar both long edges of the rock but not the centre of the panel suggesting that the rock has been moved at least once before in historic times and there is older damage along the S side of the rock. There is very recent damage to the NE corner of the rock but this area is not carved. A complex carving extends over approximately two-thirds of the upper surface of the rock consisting of around 60 cups of varying size, shape and depth, and long sinuous grooves enclosing some areas of carving and connecting others presenting a very ?organic? form to the overall panel. A large number of the cups and grooves show very clear and distinct pecking including one dense area of pecking around a central cup. The excellent preservation of the tooling makes this carving of considerable importance. A group of cups at what is now the SW of the rock are on a raised and domed area of the rock that is more weathered than the rest of the carving. Running from this area to NE along a distinct line of bedding is a long groove that appears must be carved but is very difficult to interpret as the rock is heavily eroding back particularly through freeze-thaw action along one edge of the groove and exacerbated by water flow.

'Celtic' design added in 1994. Further grooves discovered in portion of bedrock off to S edge by Stan Beckensall (August 1999). Speight (see Bibliog.) described recent carvings, then evident from a freshly exposed section of the rock. These must be the cups and rings on the badly decayed eastern sections which were not originally shown. [IAG 2003] Hangingstone Rock is an area of bedrock saved from quarrying in the 19th century. The overall dimensions of the exposed area is 26m x 8m, but the bedrock extends further. For the purposes of project recording, the stone has been recorded in five sections (A-E). Hangingstone Rock ? Panel A Panel A is the most westerly section of carved bedrock and has current dimensions of 7.15 m (E-W) x 4.27m (N-S) and stands to a height of 0.88m on the northern quarried side. The upper surface is flat in comparison to the carved areas of bedrock to the E, and consists of very coarse-grained sandstone, with the occasional quartz pebble inclusion. The Motifs, which are found towards the eastern end, are a mixture of simple carvings comprising traditional cups, rings and grooves to two distinctive curvilinear arrangements which incorporate wide deep grooves, cups and rings. Towards the south east end, next to the current (July 2013) vegetation line, are a number of possible grooves and an eroded cup with a partial ring. Further motifs have been previously noted in the area directly S, and are now covered by vegetation. Whether the motifs on this western section are all contemporary or represent different phases of carving is unknown, but the differences in style and weathering may point towards more than a single phase or carver. This stone is one of a number of complex carvings perched on the scarp edge which overlook the Wharfe Valley. This area of bedrock has been the site of numerous modern carvings / graffiti, the most recent being August 2012 when some of the prehistoric motifs were compromised. Hangingstone Rock ? Panel B & E Panels B and E are placed on the central area of bedrock, between Panel A to the west and Panels C and D on the adjoining section of bedrock to the east, which is only separated by a soil and vegetation filled narrow fissure. This exposure of bedrock which contains Panels B & E measures 8.9m (N-S) x 6.10m (E-W) has an undulating surface with extensive planar erosion and differential weathering in the form of circular and irregular bowls of varying size and depth. Panel B, which can be found on the north western end, consists of a complex cellular design of 10 cells, 2 of which contain single cups and 1 near the centre containing 3 cups. A single, possible groove extends from the top NE corner, 30cm in a northeast direction. There are 2 single cups immediate south of the cellular design and 2 roughly parallel, 40cm grooves which are probably natural. At the east end of these lower groove is a large, probably natural bowl, and to the west of this a ?V? shaped depression, possibly enhanced with a natural fissure running into it. To the west and north of the cellular design are recent carvings of an ?X? and ?T?. Panel E, which comprises the north-eastern section of the same area of bedrock, has numerous cup-like depressions and many more natural erosion bowls. In the area drawn (see Plan E), 12 of these depressions are thought possibly carved, 9 natural in addition to a carved cup with an arc. There are a number of other probably natural depressions outside the area of the plan, in addition to possible grooves on a small island of bedrock, separated by grass immediately south of the southwest corner. Hangingstone Rock ? Panel C & D Panels C and D are located on the eastern section of exposed bedrock, to the east of Panels B and E and a soil and vegetation filled fissure. This area of bedrock has two distinct bedding layers, with the higher layer on the western half and lower on the eastern section, which is free of motifs. The overall dimensions for this area is 6.85m x 5.80m, with an approximate 5m drop on the northern side. Similar to the area of bedrock to the west, the upper surface undulates and there are numerous bowls of varying size, depth and shape, in addition to areas of differential weathering and planar erosion. The motifs for Panel C are found towards the northwest corner and consist of various cups, cups with grooves, rings and arcs. Panel D is further east and comprise a further cup with two possible radial grooves and an arc, then a few metres to the east, a highly eroded cup with two rings / partial rings set within an irregular natural depression. Although the latter motif is barely visible, a 3D photogrammetric processing model confirmed the possibility of the features. Immediately south of this area of bedrock, amongst the heather and vegetation are at least two bowls with cup-like profiles but diameters exceeding 0.5m. It is not known whether these are entirely natural, enhanced natural or artificial, but they do not fit comfortably into the accepted cup-and-ring tradition, and therefore have not been included in project recording.

A spread of stones at the northern end and lack of height may indicate this end was the entry point for the excavation. 26m WNW of the cairn is a shallow pit with evidence of sandstone removal and dressing, 60m NW is an area of further working, which might be connected to limestone boulder pits or sandstone quarrying. Similar features are 150m SE. Also to the NW close to the workings, are carvings Burley Moor 01 - 03 (BM01 -BM03) and several small cairns of uncertain provenance.
