Carved boulder found on Simonburn Common, around 6 miles NW of Hexham and just outside the World Heritage Site designated for Hadrian’s Wall.
This boulder is now part of a bank and is listed as ‘Fenwick Fell Field a’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA), and was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. NADRAP Team 2 describes:
“A small portable stone built into an earthen and stone bank running NNW. The motifs consist of two deep cups joined together by a linear groove on the stones east facing side. A few metres east, a collection of stones may be a robbed cairn.”
