Rock Art in Northumberland

This panel is part of a rocky crag, it is located immediately next to Hunterheugh 5. The motifs include three heavily eroded cups with single rings and a possible linear groove. I could distinguish only one very eroded cup-and-ring mark during my visit.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-476 Hunterheugh 4, which includes both NADRAP's and Beckensall's descriptions, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, photogrammetry, a VRML model and media from the Beckensall Archive.

The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 343 Hunterheugh 4.

This rock art panel is located on Open Access land. Beckensall noted this panel was more than 100m from the nearest path.
