Scheduled prehistoric carved boulder found on private land within Stobgreen Plantation, N of Eggleston, County Durham.
First discovered by John Grayson in 1954 this stone went to ground shortly afterwards. It was then rediscovered by Paul Brown in 2001 and subsequently referenced ‘Stobgreen Plantation, The Grayson Stone’ by NADRAP on ERA. In the gazetteer part of their 2008 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art in the Northern Dales’, Paul & Barbara Brown describe:
‘Cup and ring marked boulder 190 x 110 x 50cm. Three cups with single rings, cups and grooves.’
