Rock Art in Northumberland
This rock art panel is located on a vertical gatepost, on its western side. NADRAP records it as having 15 cups, one of which is a large oval and two of which have been truncated by quarrying/dressing. Two short grooves can also be seen. Beckensall adds that this is a rare example in this part of the Shire; the source may be the quarry 200m to the south.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-751 High Shaw Farm, which includes both NADRAP's and Beckensall's Archive notes, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a VRML model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 796 High Shaw Farm, Staward.
Please note this rock art panel is located on private land.
