Rock Art in Northumberland
NADRAP tells us this stone block had been trimmed for use as a building stone and bears a small central cup with three irregular penannular rings. The squaring of the stone has cut across the outer ring. Find spot is simply recorded as "From wall in Wooler - Wooler Cottage."
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1908 Wooler Cottage, which includes NADRAP's notes, Beckensall's brief archive notes and description, plus 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 351 Wooler Cottage.
Please note this stone was donated to the Museum of Antiquities, Newcastle (now the Great North Museum).
