Rock Art in County Durham

This rock art panel is located on a triangular shaped block of stone, recently set in a recently planted hedgerow between two fields which are also separated by a wire fence. The motifs are recorded as a number of cup-like depressions along with eroded ridges which give the impression of groove. The stone also has some solution holes, so the nature of markings on this stone is likely to be natural rather than man-made.

For more information and a more detailed description see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-975 Brignall, Moor House Farm, which includes NADRAP's notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry.

It is not recorded if this rock art panel is located on Open Access or private land; land usage given is 'other: hedgerow'.
