Stone found to the S of Lordenshaw hillfort, Garleigh Moor, S of Rothbury, Northumberland.
Referenced ‘South Lordenshaw 3’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) this carved rock was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. The NADRAP team described:
“A probable bedrock outcrop utilised as the base for deposition of larger stones into a cairn structure. Little of the base rock is visible but an exposed section displays a single, slightly elongated cup. A groove is thought only as possible. There are surface undulations either side of the cup, like ripples, but they may be natural.”
