Rock Art in Northumberland
This rock art panel is recorded by NADRAP as being on a steeply sloping rock slab on a bank. The panel has a curved groove arising from its western edge where it forms a ridge and forms a rounded, but not circular feature. NADRAP says this is different from the other panels on the ridge which appear as shallow basins, and concludes this is possibly a natural erosion feature accentuated by water flowing down the rock surface. Beckensall had previously recorded this panel as having a single basin (taken from Charlton, 1983).
For a more detailed description and more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1421 Whitley Pike 1, which includes NADRAP's notes, Beckensall's Archive Notes and description, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 695 Whitley Pike 1, North Sunday Sight.
This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
