Rock Art in Northumberland
This portable rock art stone is now housed in the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle (now part of the Great North Museum), but was found at Fowberry Moor Park, Island Plantation (the earlier name for the Deershed Plantation).
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) feature a page for this stone - see their entry for Fowberry Moor Farm, Wooler, Northumberland, which has a drawing of the stone from 1934.
This stone is also recorded as ERA-1842 and Beckensall ID 179. Their notes state this is a "Triangular, dark sandstone (peat staining probably). Parts of the worked surface appear smoothed and may be water worn or have been transported in ice? Motif is on the crown of the boulder. Outer ring outside edge is lower than the central cup. Note that rings seems to link with groove on one side only. Base of the stone shows fluted sole marks (geological features). Peck marks visible in the groove, cup and rings."
