Goatstones i (Aug 2007)

3D Model

Boulder on Ravensheugh Crags, SW of Wark, Northumberland.

This rock sits amongst a cluster of other carvings, to the E of the four-poster stone circle on Ravensheugh Crag. It’s referenced ‘Goatstones i’ on the Beckensall Archive (‘BA) and described as having a single cup.

NADRAP referenced the stone ‘Goatstones i 15’ on ERA in 2008, describing the motifs as:

‘One shallow cup and three other depressions even shallower.’

This model seems to show 4 additional shallow depressions, as drawn by Stan Beckensall in the 1970s.
