Rock Art in Northumberland

This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as being on the eastern most stone of a cist, which may indicate an artificial origin, but could just be natural weathering.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1427 King Wanless Green (cist) 1, which includes NADRAP's notes, photographs, a panoramic photograph, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry.

This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
