Carved area of outcrop currently set within a private plantation, near West Horton, Northumberland.

Recorded as ‘Buttony 3’ in the Beckensall Archive, this carving was added to ERA by the Northumberland and Durham Rock Art Project (NADRAP) in 2008. One of several areas of carved bedrock found within the plantation, the motifs here consist of a clustered group of cups, with 5-7 rings / partial rings, a cup with 5 rings with a superimposed sub-rectangular groove, and further cups. All are heavily weathered.

Model created from 3 stereos pairs captured using a 5mp Nikon Coolpix 5400 by Kevin Malloy on 28th February 2007. The imagery forms part of the ERA / NADRAP archive.

The imagery was captured within a dark plantation, resulting in fairly noisy imagery. Hence some noise is visible within the model.
