Outcrop with a prehistoric carvings near Millstone Burn on Longframlington Common, Northumberland.
This area of outcrop is referenced ‘Millstone Burn 2a’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and is described as:
‘A cup and ring, with two attendant cups at one end and two cups at the other.’
NADRAP subsequently recorded the panel in 2006 and added the record to ERA in 2008, describing:
‘A group of at least three cups in centre part of the rock with a midget cup nearby. Another possible cup under turf at south end. The cup and ring described by Beckensall is not visible, but may be heavily eroded as cups are quite shallow.’
The ring mentioned by Stan Beckensall maybe the rocks natural topography.
