This prehistoric carved portable rock is from an excavation and was originally in the collections of the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle (now Great North Museum: Hancock). It’s referenced ‘Ellingham D’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and NADRAP added the record to ERA in 2008, describing:
‘Single large cup and three or four smaller finger-tip sized cups on same surface. Main cup is 0.04 m by 0.04 m (0.015 - 0.02 m deep). Groove is very shallow next to cup, deepens at edge of stone. Small cups difficult to see. There may have been more before stone was weathered.’
