Boulder found in a cairn, NE of Lordenshaw multivallate hillfort on Garleigh Moor, S of Rothbury, Northumberland.
This may be reference ‘East Lordenshaw 4L’ in the Beckensall Archive (BA). NADRAP added the record to ERA in 2008, describing the stone as:
“A small upright boulder within the trenched burial cairn structure displays a single cup at the highest point and another shallow depression. The boulder has been replaced here following cairn excavation, so there is no certainty of orientation or indeed placement…It is not clear whether this is the stone previously referred to in the Beckensall Archive.”
