For basic information on the rock art panel, see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-681 Seafield Farm, Seahouses, which contains Beckensall's Archive Notes.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 359 Seafield Farm, Seahouses, which records: "In 1905/06: A stone, having four concentric circles incised on it, was found buried near the tombs. It is now at Seafield Farm House. The original length was about 4'6". The markings are very rough, and the stone partly broken ….. The whereabouts of the stone are not know, but there have been heard rumours that there is a rock with motifs in a garden in Seahouses, but no more than that is known."
