Rock Art in Northumberland
Two rock art panels are recorded at the same grid reference:
Morwick 2e: This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as being on a large slab of cliff face set back from the river on an upper ledge which is described as precarious. The panel has "five cups of uniform size and almost certainly artificial." Beckensall had previously recorded seven cup marks pecked on a near-vertical surface.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-615 Morwick 2e, which includes both NADRAP's and Beckensall's descriptions, Beckensall's Archive notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 775 Morwick 2e.
Morwick 2g: This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as having possible highly eroded rings around a cup on the left hand side of the panel and another to its left. There is a possible double spiral on its right hand side across an horizontal crack and above the same crack to the left, two possible ringed motifs. Beckensall recorded "two concentric rings, a cup and arc, two cups linked by a groove, and six cups."
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-617 Morwick 2g, which includes both NADRAP's and Beckensall's descriptions, Beckensall's Archive notes, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 777 Morwick 2g.
These rock art panels are located on Open Access land [note: Beckensall recorded 'Access by Right of Way'].
