Carved outcrop on Chattonpark Hill, Northumberland.
This exposed area of outcrop measures around 2.5m x 1.3m. NADRAP/ERA describe:
“Panel is particularly notable for distinctive peck marks showing cups and grooves possibly unfinished. There is evidence of quarrying damage to panel, and intentional marking for further cutting of stone.
Four cups form a slightly curved line fed by a peck-marked groove. Another group of four other cups are placed equidistant and in a line. Another line is formed by a group of three cups, the outer cups larger and deeper than the central one. A groove appears to be of human original but its antiquity is undetermined. Quarry marks are evident where stone prepared for cutting.”
Recorded on the Beckensall Archive as ‘Chatton 13’ it was added to ERA in 2008. ERA Record: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=111
