Rock Art in Northumberland
This rock art panel was first reported by Tate (no relation!), who "reports carvings on east-facing outcropping rock 6 yards north of the 'principal camp' (the hillfort). He describes these as: "three concentric circles around a cup, but the outer circle on one side curves outward, and from the second circle there comes a groove, from which another groove branches off at an angle." The Beckensall Archive notes that the groove extension is box-like, similar to that on Dod Law Excavation Site Rock A2." The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 29 Dod Law Excavation Site (Tate).
See England's Rock Art entry for ERA-651 Dod Law Excavation Site (Tate), which adds: "Recent field clearance is partially responsible for the movement and relocation of some rock art panels; many small clearance cairns have been noted, and where ploughed, finds of stone artefacts are recorded. Widespread Medieval and Post Medieval clearance at the scarp edges that may have also destroyed rock art panels."
