This large stone sits N of Eel Hill, on Barningham Moor, County Durham.
Referenced 28 in Beckensall & Laurie’s 1998 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale’, it was recorded as ‘Barningham Moor 127’ by NADRAP and added to ERA in 2008. The team describe:
“The markings consists of thirteen depressions on the north facing sloping side… All depressions are irregular and of varying depths and size. The stone is friable with a number of solution holes on the south side. Given the stones friability, naturally formed holes and irregular shapes, the markings may be more natural weathering than artificial.”
They look natural on the model.
