Boulder found on Sandyford Moor, ESE of Chatton, Northumberland.
Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Chatton Sandyford 3’, the stone was recorded by NADRAP Team 3 and added to ERA in 2008 with the following description:
“…The rock is dissected through middle from top to bottom by curved linear groove which may have been natural but its definition suggests manual enhancement. The motifs comprise 15 cups varying in quality from distinct to shallow: towards the bottom left of the groove is a parallel domino motif consisting of two rows of four cups; to the middle right of this are two definite cups; to the left of the domino are three possible cups; and there are two further cups to right of groove at base of stone.”
