Ravensheugh main stone sits on the boundary between Ravensheugh and Simonside Hill in the Coquet valley. The rock is a large sandstone boulder that has been sculpted by natural erosion due to its exposed location on the fell. Several Bronze aged cairn have been discovered in the area along with cup and ring marked rocks and Bronze aged artifacts including a bronze axe head. It is interesting that this boulder seems to have no cup and ring marks on it. The rock sits on the edge of a forestry commission plantation causing its location and view from Simonside hill to be hidden. Recent clear felling work by the commission in the area has again briefly exposed the rock and its location from Simonside once again.
