Rock Art in Northumberland
Beckensall recorded this rock art panel as being a "squared shape, and traces of mortar suggest that it may have been built into a wall of a house or barn." He adds the panel was found "During ploughing at Watch Law Farm, a square stone was unearthed that has an almost complete design on it. A central cup and groove has two penannulars separated by a continuous ring, and above the outer ring are two cups. Only a little of the outer ring has been damaged. If this has been cut from decorated outcrop, care has been taken to remove a complete design."
For basic information, see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-721 Watch Law Farm, which includes Beckensall's drawing from c1970 and slides of the panel from around 1985.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 22 Watch Law Farm.
This rock art panel is recorded as having been donated to a museum, but it is not recorded which one.
