Rock Art in County Durham

This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as having two depressions, both set within a small patch of reddening which has become ingrained within the stone. NADRAP notes the shape of the cup and the presence of a cairn 30m southeast dictate "its 'prehistoric' nature remains compelling'. They add that a single, more definite pitting mark can be seen between the depressions.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1749 Guestwick Hills 1, which includes NADRAP's notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry.

This panel is located on private land. Please seek permission before visiting.

Correct name should be Gueswick Hills 1 although Guestwick is used on the Keys to the Past entry and on England's Rock Art (ERA) database. The panel lies on private land used for animal pasture.

    Hi, rockandy, and welcome to the Portal. Many thanks for the photographs of this panel, and for the correct name. I've added Gueswick Hills 1 as the alternative name, to keep the name of the panel consistent with that used by ERA, and updated the land use as 'private land'. Any problems, just post another comment here.

    If you have any more information about the excavation undertaken by the community volunteers, it would be fascinating to hear more. Thanks again!
