Carr Hill h (Oct 2007)

3D Model

Bedrock on private farmland near Carr Edge, Frankham Fell, N of Fourstones, Northumberland.

This area of exposure is referenced ‘Carr Hill h, Frankham Fell’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and described as: ‘Two rings without a cup.’

NADRAP referenced this section of outcrop ‘Carr Hill h’, adding the record to ERA in 2008 and describing:

‘…Apparent ring structure about 0.20 m diameter on edge where a millstone has probably been removed. A curved groove, possibly a natural feature, not definite rock art.’

Two partial rings can be made out around a central raised area on this model. Some elements also appear enhanced. Whilst natural can’t be completely ruled out, it appears unlikely.
