This rock was found in field walling by the late Denis Coggins, a renowned archaeologist in the Teesdale area. It now forms part of a private collection.
Recorded ‘Low Crag Farm 1’ by NADRAP and added to ERA in 2008, the team describe:
“An irregular shaped portable, possibly broken off a larger slab. The motifs consist of a single cup with a 0.07m diameter and 0.04m depth. The cup is probably natural and has quartz crystals in the bottom.”
This model shows the single depression has some small indentations reminiscent of tool marks within it and the cups profile looks more artificial than natural.
