Boulder on Bewick Hill, approx. 3 miles NNE of Powburn, Northumberland.
Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Old Bewick 2’, the archive describes the motifs as “A cup and ring and three motifs each with a cup at the centre of two rings lies on either side of a cup and serpentine groove that is the centre of a ring set in a natural hollow.” The later NADRAP recorded similar motifs on ERA in 2008, but adds:
“A large block of similar size, but less height than 1a and possibly with similar origins as a glacial deposit or much quarried outcrop. Sides and top show signs of quarrying and stone removal. Unlike 1a there are no carved markings on the vertical sides…”
