Rock Art in Northumberland

This cup marked cobble is recorded by Beckensall as having been found in a clearance heap of a field that is regularly ploughed. No find spot grid reference was recorded, and its provenance is unknown, although Beckensall says it has "a fine cup mark". NADRAP did not record this panel in their more recent survey.

For basic information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1919 Alnwick Fords, Longframlington, which includes Beckensall's description, a 1970's drawing of the cobble and a slide of the panel. The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 491 Alnwick Fords, Longframlington Portable.

Please note this cup-marked cobble was donated to Berwick Museum.

Note: Have you seen this rock art panel? Do you have an accurate grid reference for its find spot? Do you have any information or photographs to add?
