Dour Hill Long Cairn a (June 2007)

3D Model

Small boulder located in a 50 metre long Neolithic Long Cairn within a private plantation on Dour Hill, NW of Rochester, Northumberland.

Referenced ‘Dour Hill Long Cairn a’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) the motifs are described as:

‘One large and two smaller cups on a block within the mound itself in a disturbed part.’

NADRAP added the record to ERA in 2008, describing:

‘Only one cup appears genuine; a large and deep cup without pick marks 0.12m diameter and 0.05m deep. Other indentations are considered to be most probably naturally formed.’
