Rock Art in Northumberland

This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as being one of 38 possible cup-marked stones incorporated into a boundary wall north of Alnmouth, discovered by Gladys Bettes and recorded by Stan Beckensall. NADRAP notes this may be Neolithic rock art, but might have been caused by natural phenomena, such as action by molluscs. Beckensall had previously recorded this panel as having a minimum of seven cups.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1113 Alnmouth Wall Rock 5, which includes both NADRAP's and Beckensall's notes, plus a photograph from the Beckensall Archive. The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 811 Alnmouth Wall Rock 5.

This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
