Rock Art in Northumberland

Part of the Goatscrag Rock Shelter, but each set of motifs recorded separately, this rock art panel has rare motifs of 'two cups linked by curved grooves'. That this rock has a cluster of ten with two other cups on the rock is described by Beckensall as unique. For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-8 Goatscrag a, which includes a description, photographs, a panoramic photograph, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, photogrammetry, a Quick Time VR model and media from the Beckensall Archive.

The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 12 Goatscrag a.

This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
