Outcrop near Glitteringstone, 1200 metres NW of Rothbury, Northumberland.
This carved area of outcrop can be found to the east of a cairn called the Football Cairn. Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Football Cairn a’, the record was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. Team 3 describe:
“The panel is divided into portions of hard and upstanding quartz lines of material. A bowl appears only as a bedding alteration slump. A number of natural hollows are also visible along with the multiple ringed motifs. “
