This rock art panel is described by NADRAP as having twelve single cups, one cup and ring, one cup and arc and three cups with grooves on its eastern side. On its top and western side, it has approximately twenty deep, but eroded cups with grooves. NADRAP notes that it was difficult to determine which cups were artificial as opposed to those formed by natural erosion. For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-261 Heddon Hill, which includes Beckensall's description, photographs, a panoramic photograph, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a QTVR model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 986 Heddon Hill.
This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
