Date Added: 5th Nov 2022
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Tyne and Wear)
Visited: Yes on 31st Oct 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Great North Museum (Rock Art) submitted by Anne T on 10th May 2018. On display in a case in the Prehistoric display on the ground floor. Comparing photographs, I think this is Fowberry Moor Farm, Island/Deershed Plantation Panel, ERA-1842, Beckensall 179. The panel is stained dark red due to peat staining.
Submitted with the kind permission of the Great North Museum.

Log Text: A lot of rocks in one cathedral! Many carved rocks propped against various walls - some near the crypt and some directly across in one of the small enclaves. Wonderful carvings, a personal favourite is one of a sword handle & cross guard. Cathedral itself is stunning with gorgeous stained glass pieces & friendly staff.

Date Added: 13th Aug 2025

Country: England (Warwickshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2025. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
King Stone Round Cairn submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2006. The King Stone viewed from near the brow of the hill to its north, and a cairn-like circle of stones that were possibly in the area of the tumulus mentioned in the legend. Unsure if these have always been in this position.
The Kings Men are across the road behind the trees, to the far right of this view.

Balnuaran of Clava (Stone) submitted by Cosmic on 6th Jan 2004. NH758446
Standing stone to East of Balnuaran of Clava Cairns - only about two hundred yards away but not on OS Map.
Access is along a long straight country lane (from the East, West end blocked off) that was probably drive way to a big house - trees either side.
Stone itself about six feet high.

Log Text: Seen from the road on the drive to the Clava Cairn carpark & then again from the picnic area near on the other side of the carpark from the stones. Gorgeous flat face and was light up quite beautifully by the setting sun.

Log Text: Gorgeous stone with absolutely oustanding carvings, the glass case makes for difficult photos but the informational plaques are outstanding.
