Area of outcrop found S of The Rigg, SW of Lartington, County Durham.
This section is one of many areas of the same exposure of outcrop adorned with carvings, usually separated by either fissures or turf coverage. During initial NADRAP surveys in 2006, this section was thought to be a new discovery and was referenced ‘Lartington, The Rigg 10’on ERA in 2008. However, it had previously been discovered in 1999 by Paul Brown and was referenced ‘RIG7a’ in his and Barbara Brown’s 2008 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art in the Northern Dales’. They describe:
‘Four linked cups, eroded depression linkined by groove, a deep drill hole and a single cup mark appear to the west side of the slab’
