Rock Art in Northumberland
This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as being a small earthfast boulder, used in a field wall. Motifs include four concentric arcs with no central cups. NADRAP notes the arc cover approximately 60 degrees of a circle and are not continuous, concluding that they consider these to be formed naturally through weathering of the rock strata. The wall appears to be part of an Iron Age or later settlement.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1367 Low Thornhope Farm, which includes NADRAP's notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a VRML model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 1049 Low Thornhope Farm.
