Carved outcrop on Snook Bank, north of Longframlington, Northumberland.
Snook Bank is an area rich in archaeological remains from prehistory through to fairly modern times when millstones were extracted. This carved area of exposure is referenced ‘Snook Bank 6f(iii)’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. NADRAP Team 2 describes:
“Slightly curved outcrop with sloping, quarried western edge, possibly used for millstone extraction. Cups are on horizontal surface close to the edge.Two single cups and a possible third on S’most point.”
