Stone on Bellshiel Law, NW of Rochester, Northumberland.
Positioned about 700 metres SE of the long cairn, this stone is referenced ‘Bellshiel Law 2e’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) where it’s described as having two cups. NADRAP added the record to ERA in 2008, noting:
‘… Two definite cups, each 0.10 m diameter by 0.06 m deep and two smaller possibles. One large and one small cup occupy the SE section and at least one other cup at the NW end. The cups are well-formed and the larger appears to be on an artificially flattened area.’
The possibility of other motifs (arcs) were picked out and drawn on the photogrammetry form by the NADRAP team in 2007. These features can also be seen on this model.
