Rock Art in Northumberland

This panel was found near Blueburn Farm, Rothbury during an excavation. Beckensall describes this panel, with its single, very large, pick-marked, cone-shaped cup, as 'possibly prehistoric'.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-1838 Blueburn Farm, Rothbury, which includes NADRAP's notes, Beckensall's archive notes and description, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry and media from the Beckensall Archive. The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 642 Blueburn Farm.

Please note this rock art panel was donated to the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle (now the Great North Museum).
