Relocated rectangular boulder on private farmland on Bracken Rigg to the E of Hunderthwaite, County Durham.
This carved block was discovered Paul Brown in 1999, and is referenced ‘BR1a’ in the Brown’s 2008 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art in the Northern Dales’. NADRAP added the record ‘Bracken Rigg 1’ to ERA in 2008. Paul & Barbara Brown describe:
‘Large boulder. 34 cups and seven parallel grooves some linking cups, two cups with faint rings 134x 126 x 44cm. Moved from original position to edge of quarry.’
